Saturday 15th
A tough, dull day into more headwinds. 80kms to reach the border crossing to Chile - a minor milestone.
Nothing at the border except a petrol station and a bare patch of ground to sleep on. Saturday night celebrated by washing my cycle shorts in the petrol station toilets. Livin' Da Vida Loca!
Continental bicycle tour of Canada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru

Used to be an applications developer (posh name for computer geek) for Pilkington Glass in St Helens. Always had an ambition to travel so I saved, quit, cycled across Eastern Europe. The travel bug bit hard so I went back to Pilkingtons to reload the bank account and planned to cycle through some of the world's very cheapest and most interesting countries. Now my girl has been infected with the bug and has joined me in the madness!
The Journey
Initially a six month journey by bicycle, beginning in Ushuaia, Argentina and ending in Peru at Lake Titicaca along the infamous Ruta Quarenta (route 40). Taking in Torres del Paine, Perito Moreno glacier, Bariloche (lake district), the Carreterra Austral, Aconcagua, Salta, Salta de Uyuni, Titicaca.
The journey has extended and restarted in Vancouver heading south along the US coastline, through Mexico to Central America and hopefully back into South America to return to Lake Titicaca from the north....
