  • Punta Arenas – enjoying the history and good company

    On our first day we slept in, had late breakfast, caught up with family and started organising the next section of our travel South to Ushuaia. We walked to the Sacred Heart cathedral which was locked, got some stickers for… Continue reading

  • Rio Gallegos – Punta Arenas, Chile

    We left at a good time in the morning after breakfast and leaving our sticker on the glass entry door of the hotel. The plan was to get to the border in good time as we did not know how… Continue reading

  • Comodoro Rivadavia – Caleta Olivia

    We started the day with our morning wake up call from Vienna and a very nice breakfast. Then we got some help from the very friendly guy at the front desk who spoke English to find a Western union bank… Continue reading

  • Facundo – Comodoro Rivadavia

    We enjoyed a late breakfast at our empty campground and reluctantly packed up. We could have easily stayed another night but had already made a hotel booking in the next town on the Atlantic coast. I include some images of… Continue reading
