Happy camper...

Friday 15th February

Hello everyone, today I am in Punta Arenas (Chile)... but just for one day as tomorrow I head down to Ushuaia.

Yesterday I finished a 6 day trek in the Torres del Paine National Park with Jo and Neil and the worst tent in the world. The park was great, the weather not quite so great but that didnt really matter (once we'd figured out how to stop the tent leaking). Would take forever to describe the whole thing but fear not for I have approximately 100 squillion photos that I can show you all when I get home, ha!

Unfortunately my blisters got so bad that I had to do the last 4 days in flip flops 2 sizes too small... but most of you know me and know that I kinda secretly enjoyed even that. I was thinking about uploading a photo of my horrible blistered yucky heels but thought you'd probably rather look at lovely scenery instead.


I will be spending a few days in and around Ushuaia before heading back north to Puerto Natales (where I took this photo) where I catch the Navimag ferry to Puerto Montt in Chile. Thats a 4 day trip so will give me a chance to relax a bit hopefully...

Hola T! This is Mr Milecent writing on my new macbook to say how much I'm enjoying vicariously having a trip round America del Sur via your own experiences!

I've tried a couple of times to post but couldn't get the identity thing to work hence the 'anonymous' tag - nothing wrong with our system, just me being dumb.

All good here. Daniel has just a his 3rd birthday which seems to have lasted abut a month and Joe gearing up for his 2nd. Me and kim are contemplating a further extension just to put all the plastic in!

Your pictures are amazing. Hope your blisters are getting better - i'll send you a wound solution device if that would help!

hasta luego m

Great to have more news and excellent pictures. Hope your blisters heal up very soon and that the ferry to Puerto Montt is more watertight than the one in your photo!! D and J
