We’re not far from Lujan, where the SOS village is. The weather is very bad, the cover of the Model T is being pulled out.

Preparing for the rain

Just before Lujan, the T Ford stops, probably a disconnection because of the rain.

Engine stops

The childrens village is surrounded by gates within straight houses which all look the same.
One of the gates is being opened en Diego receives us.

Diego receives us

We only see a few children, they are inside because of the rain. The river is fludding and a tornado somewhere near, we are happy we are inside.

Happy we arrived

We hebben nog kaasfondeu en slapen op de stapelbedden waar normaal ook de kinderen slapen onder kleurrijke kinderdekbedden.
We still have some cheesefondue and sleep on the high beds where normally the children sleep too, under colorful bedcovers.

We leave Tres Arroyes and are almost 80 km on our way when Dirk discovers that he forgot his red raincoat.
The Landrover returns to the place.

It’s a day where we don’t drive together and have to drive in the dark.

A good day driving alone without the landrover

Spring in the air

The road is very bad and full with holes. We are very lucky that a small truck guides us and shows us when to avoid the holes.

Many cows

People making pictures

In the night we arrive in Saladilla by a good hotel and have dinner in the lovely restaurant.

A very nice restaurant

We haven´t left the village for half an hour and the Model T is making the same sound as yesterday. Now he can resolve something he couldn´t yesterday, but the gear in the rear axle is still broken.

Fixing the car

We can get on our way again, for now, but there is a lot of wind.

At Las Grutas we get off the road, a touristic coastspot but now there is no one. Just as we arrive and start looking for a campsite the Model T is making strange noises and Dirk isn’t happy with it. Dirk and Trudy stay and wait and Wouter and I go look for a place to stay. As we get back Dirk and Trudy are speaking with a passenger, Jorge. He is speaking about offering a hotel and the director of Tourism, but its all in Spanish, so we try to understand. More people are arriving.

They are so enthousiastic about the car and the story behing it all that Guillermo, the director of Tourism offers us a house at Cuyen, a beautifull place, run by Carlos and his father.
