The calm before the storm

Driftin'

Here we are driting down the Rio Manso between rapids - as you can tell we've finally found somewhere where the internet is fast enough to upload our photos. Check out the Argentina link on the right for lots of photos of glaciers, mountains and white water rafting!

We're having a relaxing day in Puerto Natales before we head to the Torres Del Paine tomorrow. Ironically the weather is really nice today - hope it lasts for the next few days! We've done some investigation and it turns out that there are options for doing 1, 2, 3 or 4 day treks, and we can make up our minds as we go along depending on how tired / cold we are. If we were here in the high season we wouldn't have been able to be so flexible and would have had to book all of our nights in the refuges in advance.

It's a bit confusing being back in Chile again. Some things are the same as Argentina - eg hundreds of stray dogs running around - and some things are different - getting 880 pesos to the pound instead of 6 means we have to be careful with our sums!

We'll let you know how we managed on the trek when we get back! Bye!
