Moving on up...Bariloche via Ruta 40

I don´t know why I thought it would be fun to be on a bus for 2 days. Maybe because someone had told me the Ruta 40 was legendary (legendary unpaved that is!) or was it because I was reading Che Guevarra´s book "The Motorcycle Diaries"... I have no idea. Was it worth the slug and boredom. Still not sure, the buses were uncomfortable, the unpaved road gave me a headache and the journey was frutratingly slow (think 20 km per hr). At least now I can say I have seen the Argentinian desert over 3 states. Nice.

Although I did meet some random Argentinians in a bar, went drinking all night with them, had some mate to wake myself up and boarded the bus 15 minutes before it was leaving not having slept all night.
