Thanks for all your messages on the blog – we enjoy reading them - keep them coming ;-) Most of this section of our trip has been in one area, albeit in 3 different locations - Torres Del Paine in Chile, then El Calafate & El Chalten in Argentina. These 3 locations are all in Patagonia and effectively in one huge national park filled with mountains lakes and glaciers. The shorter and last pa... Read Full Entry

Love reading your blogs. The pictures from this last one were magnificent. I'd love to have seen that amazing glacier. It's sheer scale was something else. You must be having a fabulous time! Looking forward to the next installment. love Diana

Very jealous
Despite being a technophobe I've managed (with a great deal of difficulty) to read your latest blog. It seems so easy for everyone else!!! It all sounds so wonderful. I love glaciers and remember one of my best days in NZ lying on a rock listening to them thunder. I'm so envious but I do have a weekend in Paris to look forward to. No mention of my ancestors on your travels - you missed out there! Continue to enjoy and stay safe. Love you loads xxxx

Fabulous!
You are so lucky to see so much scenery primitive, untouched and undestroyed by humans. You have completely returned to nature. The handprints in the graffiti look horrible though. Marianne even swam in the icy water. Envy you. So well-built and so brave. Just enjoy yourselves, Steve and Marianne. Thank you for your blog so that we can also experience the wonderful journey with you at home. With love Eva

Patagonia
Looks incredible. Not quite sure I can see the calving on the glacier but can certainly hear it. Keep them coming.

Hey there it all looks fab what amazing views...all appealing to my love of Geography! Car going well. It passed its MOT with a bit of welding back together and a new tyre. Its a bit damp inside so am trying the jar of rice trick! We did lots of driving over half term which was great. Off to see Oliver's house concert on fri and Emily's netball match on sat and mother-in-law in hosp on sun and Charlie on french trip. OSMA meet up thurs will think of you! Keep the news coming XXX

Too envious to speak!
What an absolutely brilliant trip you're having. The scenery is stunning. Meanwhile, here under grey, drizzly skies in the Uk . . . .

Wow...looks great. However, I'm amazed you swapped this experience from being at Wembley last week when your Blues won their first silverware in something like 150 years. Now where are your priorities young man...that's apart from the lack of hashing opportunities in Patagonia. Seriously, we loved Argentina, BraziL and Uruguay and aspire to get further south next time so keep the blog coming.....

Hi from an Armchair Traveller!
Have just returned from Vietnam - hot in the south, not like your pics of mountains and glaciers! I love the bluey hue of the glacier and hearing and seeing the calving must be mesmerising. You have certainly covered huge distances with long coach rides so I hope that you are both well and in good health. Great to be able to see where you are going. Love from Chris, Caroline and Michael. xxx
