An impressive drive
Enjoy the hike, stop to smell the flowers. This is not a hike to be rushed. I'm glad you called everyone to see the horses. Sorry you missed the boat ride.

Torres del Paine
The strongest wind in the World...the most beautiful place in the World...but not necessarily the clearest skies in the World. How lucky you have been to be there David...but even luckier the skies were clear for you to see it in its ultimate glory. Your opening Panorama slide took me back there...magnificent!!!

Panoramas are the only way to come close to capturing the magnificence of this place!
I've taken more panoramas on this trip than ever before. And yes, we have been so lucky with the weather on this trip!

Puma Trying to Sleep

Puma
I thought I got every image in Torres del Paine when we were there...but you got 1,047 in one day including this beauty of an elusive puma. Guess that means I gotta try harder!!!.

What a place for photography!
And we couldn't believe our luck in seeing not just one, but two pumas! Amazing place and so glad I could share it with dad!

Mural

Pretty impressive
I had to follow the cracks and wall stains to figure out which bits were the mural (apart from the people). I had to laugh at the reaction of the people to the delay. We often see their kind at airports... there's understandable disappointment and possibly frustration, and then there's all-out feet-stamping tantrum-throwing :)

Mural

I was the same with a couple of the murals! On the yellow one, I had to check which were the real windows! Fortunately people have calmed down now and accepted things. I didn't fancy a couple of weeks on a boat full of angry passengers!

Patagonia Yurt Camp
Having driven over all the roads of the Torres del Paine area I was familiar with all the accomodation options available within the park when we were there. However, having looked on the internet, were you staying at Patagonia Camp on the banks of Lake Toro just outside the park? If so, looks very nice indeed.

That's the one!
Being outside the park added an extra 15 minutes each way for driving, but no big deal as the landscape is still stunning outside the park!

Dad, hiking up the hill

Beautiful part of the world
Great photos of the landscape and wildlife! And this one of your Dad is my favourite of the lot. Safe and happy travels :)

It's like you both didn't expect to see each other!

Indeed... I don't think the puma was as excited as I was though!

One look at this pic I exclaimed "I've been here." Chile is one of my favourite countries. Peurto Natales from memory is a gateway to entering Torres del Paine. Hope for your sake that you are heading there...my Most Beautiful Place in the World. Looking forward to seeing if your stars are aligning, David!

Yurt life and more
Great to hear you are traveling with your father. Sounds like a great trip so far. Glamping in Patagonia sounds perfect.

My Dad said that was the only place he wanted to go too. So I’ve been saving my money hoping to have enough for a trip to Antartica next year. What is your plan? I’ll follow along and hopefully get some ideas. I Like the yurt glamping and hiking, but my Dad would probably prefer a boat cabin.

After Patagonia Camp, we spend a couple of days in Punta Arenas before joining a cruise with One Ocean Expeditions. There's no internet onboard, so I will have a bunch of blogs to publish when we finish the cruise. Hopefully that will help you decide what's best for you and your dad!

Thanks!
It was great to have a break after a few hectic months at work. It's also reminded me of the value of blogging even when I don't fly halfway around the world. I will be trying to write more often!
