Uneventful night, warm as toast in my sleeping bag. Looked in at the police station to offer thanks and make my goodbyes and was on the road by 08.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking in the back of the car as I left I realised that the neatness had somehow disappeared. Made a mental note to do something about it later – at least I know where everything is! I took away a souvenir of Lake Ansenuza in the shape of a handy bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also carried away a bit of the mud from the lake on my boots!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I stopped for a couple of coffees while I finished yesterday’s blog. Back on the road by 10.00 and drove fairly slowly as it was good birding country, especially when I hit the dirt road I had chosen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very quiet roads today. A few farmers riding roadside \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 accompanied by countless birds. Hard to choose a bird of the day but have opted for the majestic Savannah Hawk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not much to report at all today \u2013 it was a short drive and I was still a bit birded out after yesterday\u2019s strenuous birding session with Walter. Drove slowly, and took lots of photos but no lifers today.  Arrived in Gobernador Crespo at about three o\u2019clock and was grateful for a good hot shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truckdriver’s stop, with accommodation and food. Comfortable, and good craich.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A short siesta before retiring to the restaurant area to catch up with email and this blog. Trying to stay off the beer, so went for the standard Argentine drink in these parts \u2013 Fernet with Coke. I just loved the dinky bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Is this the national drink of Argentina?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not quite sure just yet about tomorrow\u2019s drive. I think a little research is required, along with a bit more Fernet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
