When staying on the fringes of Los Glaciares National Park and contemplating a 4-day trek the next week, you can do one of two things: rest up, or warm up. Jo did the former; I did the latter. On my own. For a blissful and fantastically scenic, and gratifyingly energetic, eight hours. Welcome to El Chalten, gateway to the northern side of this dramatic national park in Argentine Patagonia.

I decided in early 2006 that I'd had enough of the London rat-race and the career thing - at least, for the time being - and that I'd like to take some time out: "me time", as it were; time to do at least some of the things that I'd been thinking about doing over the last few years but hadn't been able to fit in around work and client demands.

Hi Elizabeth! Just sitting infront of the woodburner on a clear but cold Devon evening. Just read your blogs of traveling down furthest south i suppose you can go in the world before the Antartic. Well its made me feel colder than i am here but really inspired to follow your footsteps and explore that region. I have always promised myself that i would travel to that part of the world and now shall make plans for next year. I have been doing a lot of landscape photography lately and that looks and sounds like a stunning area to take some serious pictures of, and very differant to other mountain areas i have been to before. I really felt for you on the last bit of the long day trek and you couldnt see the town!! Yeah have done that one a few times before. At least no Yetis to worry about!! Look forward to your next one. Take care. Adios Paul

And another
Not sure if my first attempt at commenting earlier actually made it to you,but here I am again ! Descriptions absolutely amazing, make me feel I could be there, except here I am in sunny - about to be, would you believe it, snowy Scotland !! Supposed to be colder over the weekend than at Christmas for crying out loud !!! In Aberlady at present then back up the road, weather permitting, tomorrow. You are hoping to get out of the thermals and I am about to dig them out again !! Take care of that cough/cold and be sensible and take the medicine - an order. Lots of love, Carolyn, Jim and family XXXX
