Did a nice day ride to the Argentinian-Chile border crossing on Friday to catch some corners after the boring straight 1000km from B.A. to Mendoza. Very nice. Went up to 3800m altitude. God, that feels weired - you are breezing but you are still out of breath. But definitely worth the view. Had the highest mountain of South America - the Aconcagua - just in front of me...

 Unfortunately, on Saturday I discovered that my waterpump is leaking - AGAIN!!! So I am planning to go to Santiago, Chile today since there is the nearest BMW dealer to get it fixed properly.

 Only 3 more weeks left for my trip. Cant believe that this adventure is now almost over... Its now a decision between packing up now and going home or fixing this thing and have at least 2 more weeks of biking. Easy decision, right?

 Will keep you posted...
