Had expected another Goal from Bariloche rental yesterday however was handed keys to a Fiat Palio Fire. Best described if I may paraphrase as "a modest car with a lot to be modest about". If it had any redeeming features, other than possibly fuel economy none came my way in about 500 kms of sealed and dirt roads. The vagueness of the steering brought memories of my 1961 Ford Anglia rushing back! Talk about POV pack. Key locks in both front doors, no central locking of any description, no airbags. And this on a 5000km old car.
Someone asked for some Patagonia images. Spectacular scenery and some interesting fauna.

Wow, the pictures look great.
Definitely on my bucket list!

Actually likely to be driving another tomorrow for a 400km plus one day rental.
Really like this part of the world. Second trip down here. Combination of seemingly endless plains flanked by towering mountains and glaciers is pretty special. Highly recommended so long as Surfers Paradise/Gold Coast is not what you are looking for!

I don't know driving on the Gold Coast can be pretty scary these days suicidal new light rail is due for start up very soon , it will be interesting to see how many accidents happen then . Driving through Surfers is like driving in some wild countries all the high rise give you the canyon drive experience even on flat roads , not to mention rampant tourists /drugged out posers/ bikies ets I could go on and on it is a real adventure sometimes . And then once a year they let loose some idiots in huge noisy V8 powered cars to drive at breakneck speeds around the streets of Surfers LOL.
