Sunday, January 25th: The team arose early to tackle what lay between them and the Argentinian border: 5 hours of bone-jarrring, nut-shaking travel over ripio, which we speculate means "Devil´s washboard" in Spanish. Slowly, but slowly, we covered one kilometre after another on the dirt and gravel surface on a typical summer day in the Antarctic circle. (Read: "Cold and windy.") Back into Argentina without a hitch and, after yet another infamous ham and cheese sandwich, we were on paved road again. The little cars thanked us by cranking out the remaining miles blissfully until we arrived at our lodging in Rio Grande. We got there with enough time to prepare for tomorrow´s run to Ushuaia, the end of the road.
