Patagonian Wales to Perito Moreno glaciers
... car decided to cough, splutter and generally lose power giving us a nerve racking couple of hours driving as we “kangarooed” along in silence, ticking off the kms to the main road and hopefully a passing vehicle, should we stop dead. A couple of wonderful back fires added to the excitement, the kids blissfully ignorant to the adults worries as we’d bought two new DVD’s at the petrol station to keep them from tearing up the backseat.

In Patagonia
... nothing at all due to the fact there was nothing to do and we needed to conserve money for the other tours.

The "Big Ice" Excursion
Tired and sore after four days of intense hiking in Torres Del Paine we took a bus straight from the park to El Calafate in Argentina. Our hosts at Hospedaje Lautaro were absolutely wonderful, greeting us with a customary kiss on the cheek upon arrival, and leaving handwritten notes in our room at the end of each day.
