Those Nights...

...finding a spot at the sea side, where no campground is and where no hotel or any other human built structures have appeared yet are just priceless. 

Job Opportunities

Maybe when I am back home I could get a job as a professional dog-walker?

Question for my US Friends

Isn't that your President I have seen on a painting in a cafe in Ushuaia, Argentina?

PS: Patagonia has some extremly arty cows!

New Love!

Long time no News here on the blue truck blog. As a regular reader you must have wondered what happened. And what did happen? - LOVE - As usual, when one finds a new Love one tends to be a little blinded for everything else, tends to spend a little more time with her than at the computer, with others, yes even with such good friends as you. - Sorry!

Yes, I did find a new Love! Finally confirming what some of my best friends have told me the very first day I told'em to set off for this trip; I would not come back from South America without having fallen in Love. - And so I did - or I do not, I should say! - She's called Patagonia and I have spend hours and hours with her the last few weeks. And still I can't get enough of her. She can be so bizarre, while so colorful at the same time, she invites me to hike and climb, to watch and see, to taste and try. She is one of a kind! I tell you.

So, I am sure you'll understand that blogging has fallen behind a little bit. After all this kind of thing called love can happen to everyone. But there is some good news in here for you! - For today, my new Love and I have fallen into a little disagreement, she got all wild, windy and seems totally up-set and as in so many relationships, me - being the man - does not see, understand or know why all that storm happens. It's been that night when all her kindness and her mild and colorful behavior all of a sudden turned around, she got wild and furios, she's throwing tons of water at me and the blue truck, she turned grey and nearly intransparent. Time to leave her alone out there for a while and just leave her being up-set, time heals many things. And time to get back to blogging, time to write something. So, stay tuned, you'll soon read all about beautiful Patagonia here, you'll see many pictures and you'll totally understand why I am soooooo in love with Patagonia.

   

Look we made it!

Greetings from the world's most southern City!

Summer? - Hell yes! Tierra del Fuego.

This is what it looked like today staring through the blue trucks windshield. 

And yes, on the southern hemisphere it is still supposed to be summer. Believe it or not, the blue truck has finally set wheels on the island of Tierra del Fuego, yesterday that was and rolled into Argentina's most southern City, Ushuaia today. 

With temperatures around 0°C during the day, strong winds and, yes, a whole lot of wet snow... the crew of the Toyota has decided to trade the pop-up first floor bedroom of the blue truck for a heated hotel room. May the overlander-camping Gods forgive us. - And we hope that Fabio, the hitch-hiker from Bergamo, Italy, who found shelter and a ride aboard the blue truck to Ushuaia is safe, warm and dry, where ever he rolls out his sleeping bag.

Greetings from very close to the end of the road and very close to the southern end of the Americas.

Stay warm!

Dear blue truck blog reader,

Thank you for having been part of the blue truck's journey through 2013 by...

...following this blog and in this way kind of taking a seat...

...on the Toyota's passenger seat and...

...travelling along.

The blue truck crew, Ursi and I wish you...

...fantastic and delightful...

...funny and...

...exciting Christmas days. 

Thank you for cruising along in the blue truck! 

There is a First for Everything

Heading from Asuncion, Paraguay towards Salta Argentina the blue truck was running hot for the first time ever.

We have come across millions of butterflies, which eventually...

...closed up the radiator air intake entirely. So you can't really blame the old Toyota for feeling a little heated up.  

After having cleaned out those suicidal insects it was running like a pro again, at ideal engine temperatures.
