Day 3 - Heading through the English Fjords pass a famous Ship Wreck and the only village of the entire 1500km, Puerto Eden! Everyone seemed to have survived the night ok with no sickness luckily! The captain said that on the sea scale of 1-12 marked for wave depth and wind, we had experienced a scale 5 so not a bad crossing! Apparently sometimes it is so bad, people have come into the dining room got down on their knees and started praying so all in all we were l...

Days 4-7 - Our 4 day, 1500km voyage through the Patagonian channels on a Navimag Cargo Ship oops Cruise Liner!!! Amazingly we awoke to abit of blue sky, wahoo, maybe we would actually see something on our voyage....we will see!

At 2.30 after wai...

Day 18 - Cruising in our Fiat Uno banger round the many stunning lakes of, you guessed it.... The Lake District!

To add to this we both had serious sun and wind burn, so looking like haggard expedition hikers with a serious case of panda eyes we went to collect our luxury transport for the day..... A fiat Uno / banger car with a bad white re-spray!!! Being on...

Day 17 - Climbing in the snow to the top of bloomin big n 'active, Volcano Villarrica and tobogganing back down again on our bums!! 5.30 am saw us fresh and ready for our volcano climb ahead.... Well we'd like to think we felt that way but deep down we were shattered and wondering how the 'friggin eck' we would make it to the top! On leaving the hostel the sun was rising with Volcano Villarrica dominating the entire landscape reminding us all the time of what was...
