Argentina by Daniele Somenzi
Stato: ARGENTINA (AR)
Argentina to Daniele Somenzi
At customs all ok. In the stretch of no man's land, across the snow at the edge of the road reaches a height of 4 meters, a few photos and then the other way to customs, that of Argentina.
We arrive in the evening to Bariloche, the city where they had caught Erik Pribkie (the Nazi)
Sleep in a bed and breakfast by a pair of Argentine with Italian surnames, very kind.
Thanks to their explanations road, take a road a little longer but certainly faster, and in hindsight, really beautiful landscapes surrounded by beautiful mountains, hills, rivers, steppes, exactly the opposite of what I expected, the absolute plate hundreds of km.
Wrong path, we also cut short a short dirt road to a hundred km, which has since proved very beautiful and full of game, the guanaco, flamingos, armadillo, ducks of all kinds, and small ostriches. South Americans.
After a couple of days in the car, we arrive at Trelew, shopping at carrefour, (there is also here ????) and then via the valdes peninsula, not far away, until Piramides village from where the tour boat for whale watching (whales sighting)
We warn that the day after the sea was very rough and the boats would not be released, then book immediately on the last tour of giornata.Alle 4:30 start with a modern dinghy from 50 sites with Ghiglia hard, luckily we were about twenty so we could walk liberamente.In bay that day were an estimated 110 whales frank, in fact as soon as routes 100 meters from the shore in the bay, 2 whale immense damage to welcome us.
15 meters long and several tonnes, causing a small tsunami waves with beautiful when jump off a jump in dall'accqua; show and seen the movie several times, the queue just before you soak it is time where you take pictures in burst . in three hours of hiking, we saw 21 whales, and 2 almost touch, Joseph was a meter from his face and I to 2. Experience that is worth the trip.
At the moment in my personal ranking of the most beautiful views, with primary emphasis on the antarctica, Iguazu waterfalls and whales.
Joseph insisted on visiting with the car also part of the peninsula east of Valdez, where we saw the place where the orcas azzannata seals out of the water for breakfast, documentary already seen by piero angela. off another whale franca that is fun to jump out of the water, which biricchina.
A curious little bird has become close to the car door where I was seated at the head, opened the door, the type was so smaliziato that not only entered without knocking, but to offer a crumb of bread, I was resting on the hand without problems, which biricchino too.
Going back to Trelew, a group of us came guanaco meeting that I filmed with great joy.
Giuseppe and I have decided to return to Chile rehearsing the same way rather than do further north, we did not know how the other had just done this but, yes, that is very nice and easy.
Sleep in the same place where we were 2 nights before, in a room without TV, I watched and Joseph in the small video from DVD prestatoci Donato, diskettes to travel with us previously and in this case, when we were in nell'okavango delta botswana. Unbelievable, we had a nostalgia trip and we were at that time on the road.
Maybe then we will have a longing for home when watching another on the road trip, and I guarantee you that now here in Cinquale, while I'm writing. I have great nostalgia for that time.
The misfortune is that here in Argentina the next day there is a strike of its petrol stations in the 2 cities that we have to reach further, and we are in the reserve. then wait in front of the distributor as so many others, the arrival dell'autocisterna. 4 hours after finally here, so we can continue to the border with Chile in the mountains of the Andes.
