Rio Gallegos was a stop over between Ushuaia and Peurto Madryn and with any bit of preplanning we could have left Peurto Madryn and had a 1 hour stop over rather than spending the night.<br><br>It wasn´t all bad I went for a walk of the town with Olly, who I meet on the bus by offering him a bit of rum,. it was just a small town industrial looking town with not a lot in it.<br><br>Jen made a savage stew so just ate that, drank some wine and left the next morning.<br>

Ok arrived in Rio Gallegos on my way to Ushuaia (the most southerly city in the world). Planned to come in by bus and then get the first bus out of here. Unfortionataly that isn't until tomorrow morning at 8:30 so off I trundle to find a place to stay (there is a place about 1km away ...

So on the morning of the 14th, I hit the road out of Ushuaia. The skies are cloudy with intermittent sun, but not as cold as it had been. I hit serious fog riding through the mountains that line the southern coast, and then back onto the Patagonian steppe. Then it got me, at last - the wind. It started out as a brisk crosswind out of the west (of course). Then it got briskier. Soon it was the briskest freaking wind I can ever remember. Tolhuin is the ...

... The line up of people doubling in size as we wait. My estimate is they will be standing in line for over 3 hours. Entering Chile was quick and straight forward. As we rolled along we had to get on a ferry to cross the Strait of Magellan. Ruta 3 continued for several kms and it finally ended and we followed road number 257. This was by far the worst road we have traveled on this trip, huge washboards and ...

... prompty booked tickets to our next destination for the very next day. We were trying to save cash having been rushed about 15US for a 10 minute taxi ride, we got on the B bus. There are only 2 busses that run in Rio Gallegos, the A and the B, and I think that there are only one of each! Anyway, the bus took about 30 minutes to get us back to the bus station and we got a much better look at the town and surrounding suburbs which ...

... quickly, again because of Belle, no customs due to the fact that we were visiting and Sam was crying because he was so tired and in the car and on our way to our hotel in about 30 mins!!). Although the kids were very tired they did travel well, especially compared to the other children on board (Karen, one poor little boy cried for about 6 hours on our longest leg - I was thinking of you and how proud you would have been of my two!!). Belle ...

well, we left el bolson on an overnight bus and arrived in comodoro rivadavia the next morning. we had to wait an hour or so for our next bus to rio gallegos. that was 12 hours of nothingness. i mean total nothingness. no tress, no hills, no towns, nothing. well, we did stop in one little town, but i just can´t understand how anyone could live there. it´s almost a full day from anything ...

... write them down. I had the perfect photo shoot opportunity of him but missed it when the whole scene changed quickly. You´ve got to be quick on the camera. Nothing tastes like it appears in Chile making for weird feelings when you bite into something. There is impostor candy in Latin America too, the trend is everywhere but very much noticeable in Chile. There are chocolate balls that pose as ¨Maltesers¨ yet taste like 20cent specials from Crazy Clarks and the ...

... went back two inches - whilst the seat itself slid forward and hence taking 2 inches of my legroom. We also werent fed on this journey. The normal procedure, as I understand it anyway, is that each passenger gets a small meal on long journeys (two if its an overnight trip, dinner and breakfast). This company however has a different technique. When the bus stops to pick up/drop off passengers at a town along the route, it stops for 15-20 minutes. During this time, the idea ...
