Day 172 – Friday 10th March 2006
The huge distances between points of interest in Argentina means a lot of time is spent on buses going from town to town. That is unless you want to fly, which works out a tad too expensive. So with the Oasis concert in mind I set out from Bariloche at half five in the morning to make the 1300km trip to Santiago.
The journey was broken up into two phases, firstly a five hour, 200km jaunt from Bariloche to Osorno, which took in the border crossing, and then a 12 hour, 1100km 2nd leg from Osorno to Santiago. Between the two parts I had a 6 hour lay over in Osorno, in which I wandered around not really doing or seeing much of interest. Then I layed down and went to sleep in the park. So sorry readers, not a very eventful day but necessary nonetheless.
