Chalten to Chile's Carretera Austral and back
... fuel is Puerto Cochrane in Chile via the Robalos pass is 180kms (which is the route we want to take) or Perito Moreno (still in Argentina) has fuel in 130km but not really the route we want to take.

Verjaardagsnaweëen
Hola todos!
Met een dikke koortsblaas en kleine oogjes schrijf ik op de blog. Kaat heeft de rol van schrijfster de voorbije 2 weken al subliem openomen en nu is het mijn toer om jullie te laten dromen en mee te nemen op onze reis.
Gisteren hebben we mijn verjaardag (25 jaar, ouwtsj ook ik ontsnap niet aan de genadeloze tijd) op gepaste wijze gevierd. De avond ervoor zijn we iets gaan eten met een sympathieke Duitse toeriste genaamd Yanina. ...
