We're alive...

In the last week we've been rather busy or lazy, we'll let you decide which.

Anyway a quick summary of our movements, we've both been fine since Bolivia! Geographically we've also done a few miles:

First, we took a 25hr bus from Mendoza to Puerto Madryn, and after staying there for 2 days and doing some nature related tours (which we'll cover later) we decided to head further South.

Today we literally just got off of another (18hr) bus. Right now we're sat in a cafe in Rio Gallegos, see!


Nobody told me that travelling actually meant sitting on a bus so frequently, luckily despite the long journey times it's not really a hardship... Comfy armchairs, films, hot meals, coffee. The trick is to make sure you're tired before you get on!

We only came to this place as it's a hub for either continuing south, or heading west. We've elected to miss the opportunity of visiting the most southern city in the world, simply because we now have less than 2 weeks left in these (beautiful) lands. The other reason being there's nothing in particular to do there, unless you plan to visit the smaller islands of Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire), or dare I whisper it... The Isla Malvinas (Falkland Islands). So west we shall go!

In a couple of hours we're headed to El Calafate (only 4/5hrs woooooooei), which I'm sure you'll already know there's a rather large block of ice there, a glacier (Perito Moreno). We plan to see, maybe even walk/climb on, then head to Chaltèn where you can do numerous treks/climbs up or around Cerro Fitz Roy... muy dificil!

Final note, we're also uploaded the latest batch of pictures, there's a few of the tour we did in Puerto Madryn (Pennisula Valdez). Anyway, lots of posts on the way so I'll let this one fly...

Bye, and hope you're all well!
