Rolling down the Pan American Highway

Its day seven and I´m in Temuco, 750 km south of Santiago. Tomorrow I do a loop through the Lake District to see the volcanoes and hot springs. Then onto the Isla de Chiloe before peddling into the heart of Patagonia on the carratera austral. The first night´in Santiago the hostal had morphed into a retirement home and so instead of samba it was the sound of shuffling slippers.
