La Cumbre , Argentina

Crossed the border into Argentina without problems , flat country riding ... boring desert like landscape , farmland , corn , wheat , rice in places .I was following a semi about to pass and it had a blow out on the back tire scared the shit out of me and rubber was flying... wow so cool to watch and I did not get hit ever better ! I arriver in Cordoba city late asked at the gas station if I could set up my tent at the back in a field , no problem . After I everything set up andf was about to go to sleep another guys came over and said it was too Dangerous ... so I packed up my gear again and left in the dark . Now I entered Cordoba in the dark .... shit well the only hotel I could find was a love hotel , what a dive ! Noisy , smelly and the guy kept phoning my room for some reason , he asked for 100 peso more after I paid him 100 , then he gave it back , Could not figure that on out !

Was glad to be out of the city and roode north to enter the small puebla of La Cumbre the mecca of paragling in Argentina , home of Andi Hediger and distribtor of Advance paragliders . No flying for 3 days , wind was from the wrong way , nice shop set up at the airport for repairs . Now I am in San Juan , wine country north of Mendoza ! Heading north to get some altitude to start acclimatising for Aconcagua. More later .........
