The wee side trip to Villa La Angostura proved something to me anyway.... I really am scared of being on little boats in big waves. Thought I was a gonner (is that how one spells it?!) when as the boat rose up, up, up on each wave then down, down, down into nothing. As for when the waves were smashing over the top of the boat - heart attack city! It did lead me to a very lovely national park, looking on the bright side, where I took lots of lovely photos of myrtl...

Well, I survived the 4 nights squished in a little cabin on the Navimag ferry - didn't even need to go outside as we left the port. Those of you that have been on a ferry with me in the last few years know how brave this was!! Of course it had nothing to do with the fact that it was about 6am, pitch black and approximately -15 degrees!! After the "comedy" of getting used to the swaying motion (not always as gentle as hoped for!) we settled down to l...

I journeyed back to Puerto Natales - I'm sure the Argentineans are going to start thinking I'm drug running with my 8th visit across the border - this time with Nicola and Haley.

How wrong I was! Perito Moreno Glacier - I can only think of expletives to describe it at the moment. Wow! Watching it calving i.e. huge chunks of ice breaking off the edge of the glacier, accompanied by explosive noises, and then dropping 80 metres into the seethi...

Greetings from what feels very much like the end of the world... thank goodness I know it's round or else I'd be VERY scared I'm about to fall off.... Just to make all of you feel better, especially those I gleefully boasted that I was spending a year following summer around the world, I'm cold.  In fact, I'm b*?*?y freezing.  I don't blame the penguins for taking off to the sea.  It's far too cold to be huddling on land...
