in short: all ok, me in Illapo at the moment (3hrs north of Santiago)... rinding with 3 chileneans and one american lady...

 went to the Rally Dakar today... totally cool. these guys are incredible. they are riding on dirt as if it would be a German Autobahn.

 scenery is breathtaking... super dry. cacteens everywhere and other funny vegetation i´ve never seen before.

 bike is going well, no problems... the general idea now is to go south now towards Patagonia as planned.

 will write more and post pictures when there is propper internet somewhere...
