Track: Loncoche to Puerto Varas, Chile

​

Day in key statistics

• 262 km - distance driven

• 98 km/h average speed in 2.40 hours motion time

• One crucial Tourist Office visit - meaning we spend the evening re-planning the upcoming week of our trip.

Local Fact

Snacking was never a problem before - while the cars get filled up, i would jump out to enjoy the Snack Shopping at the Petrol Station.

Few Cola Zero's, cold, something salty - chips and corn chips, something sweet: M&M, Mars, Twix, Sublime White Chocolate for the Sublime driver. And of course, one has to buy a Jet Vanilla Ice-cream; it's a holiday, right?!

However in 2018 is the year to commit to a Healthy lifestyle.... also meaning:

No More Soda Drinks...

So Let's tackle the 'drinking problem' firstly: bearing in mind the objective- a minimum of 2 liter fluid intake on a daily basis!

 

Tweaks for tasty drinks

Just came to the shocking realisation: 80% of the d...

When you are not an Early Morning Bird, leaving early is a challenge. However, to give yourself a kick-start avoiding the 'unique' Lima traffic... 5.05 am rolling it is.

On this road trip we will rely on several road navigation systems:

S for South that is!

* Garmin - 

* Waze - Google Maps -
