Breakfast was served buffet style on the 10th floor of the El Conquistador Hotel. There were surprisingly few tables but we managed to find a free one and quickly claimed it by leaving our freshly poured coffee on it. We went back to the huge table to see what all was on offer – juices, fresh fruit, cereal, eggs, bacon, bread rolls, croissants and about 20 different kinds of cakes and pastries. Maria was a bit more restrained, but David did his best to try ...

It was our last morning in the most southern city in the world and we weren’t up to much. We took our time over breakfast and then spent the remainder of the morning doing stuff online while we waited to go to the airport. Our taxi arrived on time at 11:30 and quickly whisked us through the streets to the airport for only 60 pesos (about $6).

The Telienka was a small boat, compared to some of the others on the Beagle Channel, and ...

During breakfast, Marcos, the owner, called a bus company to arrange a pick up at 10am for our trip to the Tierra del Fuego National Park. It gave us enough time to go to bakery to get some sandwiches for lunch and to get our ...

We had booked the Transportes Las Lengas shuttle to take us from our hotel in El Chaltén to the airport in El Calafate. It was supposed to pick us up 9:30am, but they were 30 minutes late. Once we were seated inside and set off for the next pick up, we discovered the reason for the delay. We must have driven up and down every street in El Chaltén at least twice as the driver searched for the address. Luckily we had given ourselves a bit of spare time fo...
