Don't Mention Scree

So far so good. Roselin is still alive but don't mention scree or talus, she gets a glazed look in her eyes and shakes uncontrollably when you do. We made it to Puerto Williams (most southerly city in the world) and managed a 5 day trek which became 6 after we were snow bound to our tent for a day. Roselin agrees the Patagonian Andes are bigger than the Blue mountains (these ones still less than 2000m though). Ros also saw snow for the first time; did all the fun stuff: snow ball fight catching snowflakes on tongue etc. but after not being able to go out of the tent for a day and then having to walk through it snow has now lost its appeal to her... can't please anyone for long!

Puerto Williams (Chile) is a sleepy little town that looks over the Beagle Channel at Argentina and is in existence because of some border dispute between the countries. We arrived at the airport and headed for what we thought was the bus, following another tourista aboard. The door reopened and we strolled aboard and sat at the back.... only to find out it was someone's private car when they dropped us in the centre of town (dumb gringos huh).

So we are back in Punta Arenas, next step Torres del Paine for the "W" trek... round 2 :)
