... 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 ...

... the same man by some miracle walks sober out of the police station and down the street. Wish i knew that miracle cure for drunkeness.
Eventually Dave plucks up to go over to the Police station to ask in his worst broken spanish can we go inside to stay in the warm. they we so helpful and we were so happy to be back in the warm.. even though it was a plocie station.. We eventually got our bus the next day across the border to Chile and Purto natales. What a journey!

... Puerto Natales with some others allowing me to visit a hidden treasure of Chile: Parque Nacional Bernardo O´Higgins, the biggest national park in the country, only accesible by boat. Today I took a 3 hour boat trip (one-way) up the Fjord Ultima Esperenza to see the glaciers Balmacera and Serrano. It was a cloudy day but as the clouds were high enough we still could see the mountains and the top of the glaciers. This national ...

... as well as some emus and a few foxes. A bit of research told us that there was a great boat trip to Grey Glacier that we could take leaving from the Grey Hosteria at 2pm. Leaving Puerto Natales at about 10am, we figured we would have plenty of time to get there. We hadn't counted on the poor state of the dirt roads, nor on taking the long route or on our frequent photo stops, so we ended up rushing a bit to make it there just in time. As it turned out, 2pm was on Chilean time ...

We crossed back into Chile about 3 hours south of El Calafate, arriving in Puerto Natales. This is the base town for trekking in Torres Del Paine National Park. We stayed 2 nights and stocked up for a 5 day trek in the park. We drove about 100km north of town to the park office. We parked the car, and put on our packs and started walking. We hiked the "W", an extremely popular ...

... day). The tour bus picked us up at 7:30 and we made our way to the park which took several hours. We stopped at many scenic viewpoints throughout the ride to snap a few photos, but it turned out to be a cloudy day for the better part of the morning and early afternoon. So unfortunately, all my pictures of the beautiful mountain range don't look so special because the jagged peaks are all in the clouds. Luckily though, the clouds broke ...

... 5 of them were swept off the road and into the ditch, and the sixth was picked up off her feet and dumped on her but right on the road. She looked like she got decked by Tyson and did not get up for a while and it turned out slightly hurt her leg. While waiting for the bus we bumped into a few people we had seen on the mountain. We shared our wind and weather stories, but apparently we were lucky. One couple was caught in the wind while walking on a ...

... again like El Calafate, it is not the town itself which is the draw but a nearby natural wonder - in this case, the Torres del Paine national park, the most famous and visited in South America, and in which we shall shortly be trekking. This afternoon we attended a talk on whats required for adventure, and on foot of this we reckon we´ll be spending 6 days trekking in the park, getting in tune with nature and ...

... reached the other side, it was a bizarre experience; I still don't know how he managed not to touch either side of the van against the sides of the bridge.



After claiming our packs we transfered onto the big bus and headed out of the park for the 2.5 hrs back to Puerto Natales ...
