Zapala to San rafael - 490 miles

Another long day. We took one of the most boring roads, flat and straight and nothing to look at. This route was chosen because one of group didn't want to do any off road. Heated discussions about that were had later in the day.
We had a bit of a delay riding through Neuquen where some sort of protest was in full swing on the main highway.
At the afternoon fuel stop we encountered a problem, a power cut so no petrol. We decided to try and make it to the next fuel stop riding as economicaly as possible at 50mph. We stopped along the way to give some of our spare fuel to Clive who had ran out. Eventually we made it to the next fuel station with about 6 miles to spare.
We arrived at hotel Vinas, San Rafael at 9 o'clock, tired and pissed off.
