Finally after two days in Puerto Natales we are making the trip south, our next stop should be Antarctica! Its been great cruising the fjords, but we are all now wanting to get to the main course of this trip…
Lost in the Fjords
The fjords of Chile are mostly linked, making it possible to almost travel from Puerto Montt (A town north of Castro where we stopped 2 days ago), all the way to Cape Horn, without entering the open seas. Well that…
Whales on the portside

A Pueblo called San Pedro
So we decided yesterday to leave the place 700m out of town, to somewhere nearer in town. The one bathroom with no mirror just didn’t make the cut and the walk to town, while short was often hot and not…
