Where are we now?
The Carretera Austral
The red line is getting frighteningly long and the green one is shrinking rapidly, we're starting to think we might actually make it!
We are now on the Carretera Austral, the road Pinochet built to link Patagonia with the rest of Chile to encourage the area to be populated. His reason being to deter those lovely Argentinians from invading bringing with them all their delicious icecream, chocolate, wine and steaks.
We are now in Coihaique (Coyhaique) around half way down. It's a great place to rest for a few days and to prepare for the rest of the road south.
There's been at least 4 earthquakes (tremors) since our arrival, centred around Volcano Hudson. I woke up last night with a start thinking there was a much larger tremor only to realise it was Sarah turning over in the top bunk!
