Miramar
Saturday the first of October 2022
Breakfast this morning was a voucher for a cup of coffee and a croissant at the YPF around the corner from the hotel. Martin, the attendant at the YPF had a long chat to us and sent us a picture of us he had posted on Instagram. A bit of advertising methinks.

We augmented the limited breakfast with pan bought in the first town down the road, LA Paquita. It had a small outdoor exhibition of old agricultural implements as did the next town, Altos de Chipion.
There was little chance to find place to take a nature break along the provincial route seventeen but thankfully there was a defunct railway alongside it with gaps through which we could go to find privacy.
About twenty kilometers from Miramar we turned off the seventeen onto a dirt track that took us most of the rest of the way.
After checking in to the apartment that will be home for three nights we did a quick reccie of the lakeside. Laguna Mar Chiquita is major breeding ground for Chilean Flamingos and also holds some Andean Flamingos. We hope to have a good rest here as well as fitting in some birdwatching.

Sunday and Monday the second and third of October 2022
Two days of rest and birding. A highlight of the trip so far.
About thirty five of the kilometers noted in this journal entry are from birding around Miramar.
Tomorrow we head off towards Cordoba. How many days it takes us to get there depends on the wind.
Today's ride: 116 km (72 miles)
Total: 1,605 km (997 miles)
