Our flight to Punta Arenas started off like any other. Fasten seat belts, secure screaming children (aka Nick) and lift off! The older I get and the more flights we have, the less I like being on them. Every sound and slight bit of turbulence made me more and more nervous, I don't know why I just hate it! Only 5 hours to go. The scenery outside ...

Knowing this was going to be along arduous drive down barren Patagonian landscape we split the driving about 50:50, again without incident, even with me driving some of the dirt roads. We finally arrived at our lodging in Punta Arenas, "The Pink House", which was very Pink and very frilly inside. It was cheap and comfortable though and the owner...

Day 173: February 4, 2008 Puerto Natales to Punta Arenas I got up at 8:00 and felt fine. The hotel didn't have breakfast so I walked around the nearby blocks looking for a place to get a cup of coffee. All of the eatery-type places were closed but I noticed that a small, self-service grocery store was open. I walked in and asked the owner where ...

We only stayed here a night, but we had some FABULOUS king crab....and a few pics to prove it. It was SO rich and wonderful!

Day 115: December 7, 2007: El Calafate to Punta Arenas, Chile My alarm went off at 2:15. I got up quickly. Shirl had been awake for half an hour already, worrying that she wouldn't hear the alarm. We packed our bags and went up to the office. True to form, the cab arrived on time and the birthday party was still in full swing. We arrived at the ...

Whilst checking out of the hostel I got chatting to a guy who was heading for the same bus - he offered to let me share his taxi for free which was kind but I needed to find a garage open to get some fod for the ling journey ahead - Punta Arenas via Puerto Montt. I got the early bus back to Puerto Natales and ended up being sat next to thje guy ...

After two nights at the falls, we flew back to Buenos Aires for one night before getting a flight to Punta Arenas via Santiago. Getting up at 5am was a struggle... and only just about making it in time for the bus to the airport was the start of a hectic day! Our first flight was delayed only by 40 minutes but we only had an hour before our conn...

Hola amigos, Havenīt written in a while, but because Argentina somehow was without any mayor highlights for me so far, I probably havenīt felt the urge to write that much.... Not sure why Argentina doesnīt grip me that much. Probably because it is modern and first world and since the past few years I havenīt really enjoyed travelling in first wo...
