¡Juhui, we are back in Argentina!
After nearly a week on the farm, we are drawn despite the sweet kitten Max und Moritz (as we have baptized two) on. We want to return to Argentina! The gravel drive to the border is quite difficult, since very hard, with lots of corrugated iron and potholes. But we could finally see why the IX. Region of Chile "Araucania" means.
admire the national park on the border of these beautiful and we bedrohnten trees from extinction. Perhaps create dedicated fighters still, save them to the trees falling victim to greed.
barely arrived on Argentine soil, we were back in Latin America. An Argentine cyclist brings us to hold and want to know everything about our trip and invites us to spend the night at his expense in his guest house when we go to Buenos Aires. A wide pampa-like plateau receives us with just not too much wind. In Junin in the Tourist Office, we get really good and detailed information on the camp site we welcome the Argentines with questions and catering and from the square passes - it's Friday night - Live music and gossip, in short, we feel life again and not only because our (not even great-existent) money for welcome.
The first morning in Junin de los Andes, we receive the same with a cloudless sky and temperatures up to 30 º C in the shade and we are moving again after the siesta in the city.
PS: Thanks for the various birthday greetings! Nice to know that you will not soon forget ;-)!

holiday on a farm Mapuche
Already we count the weeks that we can still spend in South America. Having traveled more than 20,000 km across the South American continent, we do at the time leave, on a small farm overlooking the still active volcano Villarica. During the day we are watching him from smoking and at night you can see it glow. A, migration 'to the volcano crater would be possible, but costs about $ 100 per person and 10 hours of you have won yourself - so we enjoy from the bottom and look forward to our tent neighbors. Since we regularly welcome the two turkeys (turkeys) with their young, the Chickens with their young. Again and again, bend down from one of the many pigs and eagerly seeks fallen apples and smacks his lips with relish. And of course the cows and calves are watching again and again over the fence and dogs and cats hoping for something to eat from our table.
Again and again hit a new visitors from Europe and we spend evenings at the interesting debate in a typical Mapuche wooden hut.

Much is unrecognizable otherwise of this indigenous people, rather reminiscent countryside, towns and people here to the foothills of the Alps and Bavaria. The nearest town is not for nothing called Pucon, Kitzbühel ', especially Now to the main holiday season of Chileans meet here those Schiki-Miki-Santiago. " In the short trips we are annoyed with the 'cheaters' on every nook and corner. Much time we can not spend, the human requires a parking meter € per hour and motorcycle ...

Kates Playground Cookin Up Rar
Finally using the help!
The last days were really quite (un) beautiful and exciting, especially nerve-wrecking. The DHL package as we have picked up after 36 hours 'non-delivery' themselves (with a car) in Puerto Montt and actually pays another 50 € for the customs. If we had not called regularly at DHL Chile, we would probably still waiting, for they would deliver the package until the 50 € are paid, they told us at some point with time. The part was installed then almost instantly and we had at least one bike that we could go. After many phone calls
and false promises, a mechanic could still overcome to bring Steffens motorcycle to Osorno and the following day to see the damage.
We packed our luggage into the car and looked for a place to live in Osorno. (Then we drove the rental car back to Puerto Varas drive around with my bike back to Osorno, all right ?;-)?)
The ball bearing from the shaft drive motorcycle presented to Steffens in individual parts. The devastating information from BMW Chile: a cost of over U.S. $ 200 and no, they had nothing in stock, we have to expect 2 weeks waiting time .... Pure stress, not only for Steffen ....
Juan, the mechanic (a graying older man) who has obviously some idea of engines (it patches the tractors, jet skis, boats, etc.) provided - as well as Steffen - a possibility the ball bearings after a service of Osorno matching part searching. Amazed and surprised we were able to determine that the operator of this business idea really had (and Juan knew very well ... what happened here in Chile very helpful). He promised us tomorrow at 8 clock are all the parts (bearings and seals) ready for collection. Although we did not really really mind, after what we had already seen everything. But let the stress of something.
morning then again in the workshop, the parts were actually there and the installation went exceptionally smoothly from Amsterdam. During the test drive it was raining Steffen an animal. The slightly more in the afternoon to test drive a lovingly made Auto Museum was 'unremarkable'. So we hope that we can then easily travel soon ... * * Jupii

English Government Ships For Sale
Café Sperl and Café Glaser
To the careless treatment of our blog in the last few weeks (Certainly due to the enormous burden of the end of term and holiday stress) some supplement, here are two new reports of previously described Terrain:
Yesterday, Michelle, Chris and I in the Cafe Sperl in Gumpendorferstraße. This restaurant offers time-honored Viennese coffee house culture to very high prices (Melange 3.30), the atmosphere is reminiscent of the Scots about the ring or Black Mountain. The visit was mostly by chance, as we had agreed as a meeting place actually the increasingly popular Phil (see previous report), this opens on Mondays, but only by 17 clock. The mentioned high prices have made us but then moved to the Phil to change and enjoy a cold beer (alternative "youth beverages") along with small snacks at fairer prices.
Today I was at Café Glaser (see picture), which is relatively inconspicuous at the beginning of the next Währingerstraße Aida. This very very VERY little "trendy café" is certainly not the cheapest restaurant, but offers friendly and peaceful atmosphere in the immediate near university (even the wireless network is accessible from the main uni there - only with MacBooks;)). And: Alfred Dorfer goes there. I got it but only identified when leaving the premises.

Congratulations Frases
Listo - nothing works! Carretera Austral in Chile
Meanwhile we sit here in Puerto Varas has been over a week, not only arrives that is not the shock. In a small day trip without baggage and tar is also Steffens motorcycle in the knees ... Kardan has been in the same way we are with me shortly before our departure - approved - the reverse sliding. Two Kardanschäden within a few months (with only 80,000 or 60,000 km, as one has a bit surprised at the quality of BMW ...).
need Once more we wonder about Chile and the helpfulness in Chile (in contrast to other countries zBBolivien how!). Even the park ranger had his search for a support or a workshop Breakdown give up in exasperation. After much back and forth, persuasion, and vitamin B, it was then our hostel operators after all, to organize a transport for the recovery of the bike the next day. The
from Steffens 'camp' with DHL Express for as much as € 320, - (!!!; for 5 kg) sent packet hits 'of course' a not as promised after 5 days, but is on demand on Monday since Thursday in Conception (500 km away from Puerto Varas) and waiting to pick up! Again after some back and forth (and no, we at DHL Chile do not speak English) do you explain our helpful Swiss woman with a lot of English and even more nervous that a 'national' delivery to the delivery address listed once again with $ 80 must be remunerated.
As we all three then burst the collar, it was thought at the other end of the line, the package would be delivered today afternoon, we'll see ....

Infinity Ps212 12 Vs Psw505
goes after some rest in a reasonably comfortable accommodation is further north.
book arrived in Chaiten we ferry the next day before we are in the Casa Hexagon . Quartered This 'wrong' order makes it impossible for us to stay a few days in this idyll. The Oregamikünstler Stefan has built here after a long and careful planning of the site choosing a really great house with guest rooms, entirely of wood, in the hexagon around a tree trunk.
We were then confronted the next morning to the next challenge. After the five ferry sailors with their various statements concerning fixing our bikes could not agree, we bucked on my GS on the center stand. And then, suddenly, I was looking for something to put under, the shock was suddenly a lot of oil themselves. So it has to the fork seal, who has acknowledged a few days ago his ministry, also caught the rear suspension. Obviously the more than 1000 km of gravel (and potholes) and the odometer reading of 105,000 km is not without consequences.
Fortunately grad came a cyclist (a German carpenter on tour) over and helped us to recover my old cow. Luckily he was not in my place or another car or a truck .... the battered ribs (this time it is one on the left ....) but still makes regular attention to himself ...
on the island of Chiloé, where we hinbrachte the ferry, we could not accomplish much on motorcycle repair, and we enjoyed a further recommended Chilenian Hostal 'pan full of mussels and fish (ever eaten Baracuda ?!?). Meanwhile
We in Puerto Varas (about 100 km south of Osorno) 'quartered' and the purchased by Steffen before leaving ebay strut is already in transit with DHL Express. Puerto Varas is for Chilean conditions very touristy - and expensive. Every day we meet German and Swiss, come here to hike. Currently the weather but so that we do not yet see the Osorno volcano could. It's always pretty wind and it rains again. So we pretty lazy around and finally find the time, our travel photos from Peru to Ushuaia time to look at rest. Now and then the wireless Lan works from the hostel and we will overcome, 'us ;-) again to give a sign of life and look us mail.
