... and we had less then three days to decide where pack and go. Looking at the weather for Patagonia we were decided not to go... then after Ryan said Brazil would be too dangerous we decided to go. So we booked our trip for 10days and started packing. I had looked at the chapter and was excited to see penguins! Glaciers! Huge mountains! I had herd people camping and hiking around, and people had asked me if i was camping, but I insisted we would be ...

... on `the W` (so called because it is in the shape of a W - I would have called it the buttocks - "5 days on the buttocks" sounds better). On the way around we saw giant glaciers, blue icebergs, avalanches which sounded like freight trains roaring past you, red/yellow/golden forests (autumn here), crystal clear lakes, night skies with the streak of the milky way, sunrises which turned the mountains red, and amazing flora and ...

... Number of falls: Kim - 6 (mostly on flat ground) Craig - 4 (mostly in snow) Number of injuries Kim - 7 blisters, all on feet and a few bruises Craig - 1 blister, hips and damaged knee. Also a damaged walking shoe from holding it too close to the fire Number of songs rehashed and sang at top volume: 7,000,000,000 Number of teary sessions cried: Kim - 3 (of pain, frustration and general tantrums) Craig - 2 (of please don't let me die here and not with the clumsiest girl in the world)

... means it comes with abundant fries and two eggs on top. Very typical Chilean. Unfortunately, their steaks as well as my fish were pretty bad. Since we'd had such great food up until then, we shrugged it off. After dinner, Julie went hostel-hunting, as she was planning on spending her whole time in the south in Punta Arenas. Scott and I both wanted to go onto Puerto Natales to visit Torres del Paine National Park, so we opted to leave after ...

... our first day at Hosteria las Torres, and hiked a short 3 hours or so to Campamento Torres, where we dumped our bags and headed up another hour to the lookout, to see the famous towers of granite from which the park takes its name. The next day we made up for our leisurely beginning by logging 27 km, hiking all the way to Campamento Britanico. Exhausted and blistered, but happy campers nonetheless, we certainly slept well that night. We ...

... I noticed that the radiator was leaking again, and worse. The guy in El Calafate had not fixed it right. Alejandro directed me to the local motorcycle mechanic, Herman, who was also exceedingly nice (Puerto Natales is a pretty small town, maybe 20,000 people). I removed the fairing, which I've gotten pretty good at, and we inspected the radiator repair. It had not been welded, it looked like some kind of epoxy, that had begun to leak (of ...

... alleen `s ochtends w**kt en dat ik me de volgende ochtend om 8u maar moet melden. De volgende dag zitten wij ** dan om 7:50 (de mevrouw van de receptie zei dat we maar gewoon moesten gaan zitten wachten) en om ons heen wordt het steeds drukk**. Ook schijnt ied**een een of and** briefje te hebben. Nog maar eens nagevraagd maar in niets w**d duidelijk dat ik ook zo`n briefje nodig had. Tot het moment dat de assistente naar ...

... chance now. I really did not know what to expect from the Ferry and I really hoped the weather would be good as I have not sailed in waters this far south before and I was concerned about the swell. I knew we were sailing for most of the journey sheltered by islands but there were times when we would head out to the Pacific ocean, please god I prayed as we took off. I shared a cabin with 3 others a Dutch couple and an Italian man. Just let me say that I really did not hit it ...

... film in the room, I tried to get a grip on the blog. <br><br>She then joined me in the internet place, where we stayed until it started to get dark. <br><br>It's SOOOOO good to finally get fast machines and a fastish connection so that I can load up some photos. If only they had drives which could read my latest photo DVD, it would have been perfect. <br><br>We enjoyed the 80s pop megamix playing at just the right volume in the background and all in all it's been a ...
