Anither bus journey crossing back into Argentina - they are starting to merge into one. After failing to find the right way to walk to our hostel we got a cab and were glad we did as the hostel was down a long hill then up another one - one to be avoided given my propensity to fall over! We were greeted at the hostel like long-lost friends and immediately felt welcome. Out room was not yet available so we left our bags and headed into town for lunch. A quick ex...

Only a short 5 hour journey today to get to Puerto Natales so we had plenty of time to enjoy the sunshine and stroll around time after we confirmed which Torres del Paine tour we were on - well not which tour but that we we on a tour that would see something!

Arrived at the airbnb to be greeted by Monica - and her lack of English - time to start practicing. Shortly ...

After the incredibly long journey I arrived in Buenos Aires and now just had to wait fot Helen to arrive.

By the time she arrived I had decided one beer was definitely enough as I extremely tired having only had about an hours sleep in the last 48 hours! We got a taxi and headed to our airbnb - not very reassured when our driver said it was not a good neighbourhood!...
