Argentina - Perito Moreno

Leaving Puerto Natales we travelled to Perito Moreno (the town, not the glacier) via Calafate.  As we had been to Calafate before there was not much for us to do - apart from a couple of walks, and a couple of beers.








Perito Moreno....with the worst Christmas tree in the world..


....and the pinkest church...




The reason for stopping at Perito Moreno was to visit the Cueva de las Manos, (Cave of the Hands) to look at some rock paintings.

Chile - Puerto Natales

Puerto Natales - we had visited the town twice to visit the supermarket (and the xmas decorations)- due to a route change we then had a night there -  a night that will be remembered for dinner.  A kilo of chips, and pints of daiquiri...




Gen, Mike and Sarah - and 1kg of potato...



Chris and a random cocktail....

Chile - Punta Arenas

Part 1 - The first visit to Punta Arenas....

Our cute little hostel





Even the official signs had been placed in picture frames....


The return of Ithaca.





Part 2 - the second visit to Punta Arenas.
Ithaca was poorly again so we had to have another - slightly longer stay in Punta Arenas -  this time to celebrate New Year

 Punta Arenas in the rain, and in the sun....













The sign is correct - there is a church nearby...




Picnic dinner at the hostel, but it's not always like this - we can also do smart at the Shackleton Bar...







Maritime museum




The Cemetery







New Years Eve - before heading out to the fireworks....







Down at the beach for the party...
