We left at about 8am, together with the Marklands and Lennox (from Canada) on his own. It was quite a long journey - a straight road and unchanging countryside. We all stopped for lunch next to a petrol station. I had a good omelette but no wine as it was my turn to drive the rest of the way into Bahia Blanca. We saw cattle on the pampas and suddenly the scenery changed to agricultural land.
We checked into the Hotel Argos which was 4-star.
Our room was small but well-appointed. We went for drinks at the Marklands' hotel, the Austral, where the Doreys and Lennox were also staying. Lennox had a new navigator, Miriam from Venezuela. We had a good dinner at a local restaurant, then walked back to our hotel. We are ready for Buenos Aires tomorrow!
