Still at starting point – in a mountain valley just outside San Martin de los Andes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Occasions continue to inform against me. After conversations with family, friends and neighbours and a visit to Vialidad I have decided the roads are not quite safe enough so have delayed my departure\/start by one day.

As Mick and Keef, vaguely paraphrasing Burns, wrote and sang: \u2018You can\u2019t always get what you want\u2019. But no sweat, I\u2019m in a cosy cabin with wine, food, a good Internet connection and my recently loaded Kindle (thanks, Mimi) together with a spectacular view from my window; these have effectively vanquished the prospect of a first day\u2019s drive of 487 km to Chos Malal along snowy mountain roads northwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, no blog today, just an explanation. Fingers crossed and Deo volente<\/em> I\u2019ll be listening to Canned Heat as I drive away tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
