Thanks Kev and Fergus! I had a late finish today because I spent 5 hours on the wifi in a truck stop,you can see the big gap.
Finished at crossroads of routes 10 and my route 35. Enjoying a most delicious spare rib dinner and huge salad in Argentinisima Parrilla Restaurante. If you ever get to The Pampas, you gotts stop here The waiter looks like Mr. Bean!
51km today, despite long stop. From Santa Rosa which I hope to make tomorrow which is a handy 43km canter away!
From there to Ushuaia, the bottom of the world its almost exactly 2,500km. So I may be running the 25,000th kilometre of the run on the very last day in the Americas, it will be close but am sure it will be run here.
Am sitting beside a man in this restaurant who is from patagonia. He has been telling me about the long stretches I have there of 150/200km between water stops! Well thats why Nirvana is back in action!
Fergus who is her number one fan and wants to start up a Nirvana Facebook page (think the rock band may have something to say about that!)will be delighted to know she is cruising along without as much as a blip; she is getting a lot of admiring looks!

Good Man Tony, You are making great progress despite all those obstacles and adversaries. Since taking your timeout it seems like you are doing so well – that tracker is half way down Argentina already. Superb running !!
