We left Ricco (truck driver) on the main road. As he drove away it was time for us to look for accommodation. We found this awesome cheap hostel and had a half hour siesta and then headed into town to have a look around. We bought a few beers then headed back to the hostel. After watching the sunset and the kids playing football it was time to freshen up for dinner. Got to dinner at about 10pm which is early for over here and got a Parrilla (BBQ meat) with eveyth...

We packed up and left Puerto Madryn early. First we got a cheap local bus to a small town which was close to Route 40 which was the main road to get across the country. From this town we had to catch one more bus about half hour down the Route 40 to Gaiman an old Welsh settlement. Thought there would be a bit more at this town but there was nothing. So we waited by the road for about half an hour until a guy picked us up. Pedro took us 20km down the road to what ...

We checked into this really crappy hostel (Don't worry be happy - probably one of the worst we've stayed in) for the 1 night and then later in the arvo we went looking for a nother nicer one.

We arrived in El Calafate Argentina at about 7pm after a pretty good 5 hour bus ride from Puerto Natales. We finally found our hostel and freshened up and went out to dinner. We walked around for a bit and then found the perfect place up on a hill over looking the town with views of snowed capped mountains. We ordered the Parrella (BBQ meatfest as Junior calls it) and some great wine. It was literally a little BBQ placed on a little table next to ours. It had 4 d...

Puerto Natales is the starting town for trekkers before they depart to Torres Del Paine. Torres Del Paine is one of South Americas best national parks. Full of green lakes, snow capped mountains and glaciers you can see it all by foot in only 4 days. So we decided to do the W trek.We started early at the hostel with a great breakfast and then a 3 hour bus transfer to the park. We had to take a ferry the other side of a lake where the trek began. It was cold and w...
