We said farewell to the milodon on the roundabout at the entrance to Puerto Natales and headed back south. The road was quiet, so quiet we had time to notice the very fancy bus shelters and flag trees.
We passed a large herd of cows being driven alongside the road.
On the way up, we saw this unusual rock ill at odds with the vast, rolling plains. As we passed it again we noticed there was an interpretation board. It turned out to be a volcanic plug, one of five in Patagonia.
Further down the road we turned off towards Seno Skyring and saw a horseman near Rio Verde doing something like dressage.
Joan wanted to see the largest coal opencast in the world at Seno Otway, but one could only get a view of its enormous slagheap. Don't they realise some (very obsessive and sad) people would pay good money to visit the mine?
At PA, we checked out restaurants and decided La Mesita Grande looked the best option. We got the last free table and Joan had a view of the chefs making pizzas. It was constantly busy but as the food was fresh and made in front of your eyes, you could see why.
