We arrived at Iguazu Tues afternoon around 1pm. Our hotel was actually a B&B called Secret Garden B&B. It has three rooms plus the owner lives in the house in front. It was a really cool place. Iguazu is kind of jungle-ey and there were lots of flowers, vines, trees around the premises. The owner was from India originally and had moved to BA about 25 years ago. 3 years ago he moved to Iguazu to òpen the B&B to try something new. One of the great things about ...

... most certainly are not to scale. A beautiful park however that is most certainly worth a visit. I think we probably walked about 12 miles that day, taking in several of the trails including the coastal trail which was lovely. The next day we hopped on our bus to El Calafate, knowing that it was going to be quite an unpleasant jouirney - we just didn´t know how unpleasant. Because of the way the road is laid out it is necessary to cross over the border ...

... is a section called the devils throat where there's about a million waterfalls all converging into the one to create the devils throat. (I may have overestimated the exact number..) It looks pretty cool though. I went up in a helicopter and got to see it from birds eye view, and it is pretty impressive. Still on the Brazil side, we then went to this bird park where we got to touch Toucans, and Macaws, and other random birds. I was a little scared of the Toucans beaks though ...

... upto them, so we could see them at close range! The cruise ended at Estancia (Ranch) Harberton. This place is one of the southernmost dwellings in South America before the Antartic. It is also the calmest point on the Beagle channel before exposure to the heavy currents of the Atlantic and Pacific. This Estancia was built by an Englishman Robert Harberton in an attempt to settle with and set up a mission, after failed attempts to live in peace with the ...

... we needed to go to catch our international flight. "Please let me be wrong," I thought ... but, then, the flight attendant came on the PA and casually announced that we were on our way to Buenos Aires, Aeroparque. Unbelievable.



The flight was very, very long. We whiled away the time by writing a progressive story. It, of course, involved firebergs and giraffes.



We landed at Jorge Newberry, and I immediately arranged a car service to EZE for Kyla and I ...

... met wintermutsen op lopen. Huh? Beetje vreemd, maar ook niet lekker. In de hoofdstraat, aardig druk al zeggen wij het zelf. In de ene winkel kun je slippers, die ernaast hiking gear en daarnaast snowboards kopen. Welkom in "El Fin del Mundo", het einde van de wereld, de stad waar alles kan. Vandaag hadden wij de stoute bergschoenen aangetrokken en zijn wij de Glacier Martial beklommen. De barre tocht met wisselende ...

Here they spell it with a d in it. Sunday night we meet the tour operator for a briefing than sail Monday. .Tonight for supper Susie had shrimp and I had a argentin steak with King crab soup. Food is great here and not to ...

... top of this mountain felt like a great place to film the last stages of Frodo and Sam going through Mordor to toss the ring into the fire of Mount doom. Jagged rocks, quite desolate landscape, and wind and weather made for a fantastically dreary mood. We had a snack at the top, and decided to turn back. This time the wind howled in our face, and blew sand and pebbles at us, almost like it wanted to prevent us from getting to the bottom. We ...

After all the animals, birds and whales in Puerto Madryn, we got on a 35 hour bus ride to Tierra del Fuego and the end of America. Luckily for such a long trip we got an upgrade to really comfy chairs, even though I had long since thrown out my upgrade trousers worn unsuccessfully on every flight. Kate doesn't like the free biscuits on these buses or coffee much either, so with 3 films and double portions it turned out to be ...
