Despite many hours travelling by coach, watching endless chick flicks starring Jennifer Lopez and participating in "bus bingo", we have already seen the many wonders that Patagonia has to offer.
During our stay in Puerto Madryn we got the chance to be at one with nature and check out the local sealife. It was totally unexpected that we would be able to get so near to the animals in their natural habitat. Nathan even got the opportunity to perfect his David Attenborough impression.
Close encounters with killer whales, penguins, elephant seals and sea lions were just the tip of the iceberg as today we got to the see the grand daddy of all glaciers, Perito Moreno.
As with Iguassu Falls it is difficult to put the enormity and scale of the glacier into words or pictures - suffice to say that the face is 20 metres high, 800 metres wide and she moved 2 metres every day!! Another wondrous sight.
For the remainder of our stay in Patagonia we are booking ourselves into an estancia (a la City Slickers) to try our hands at horse-riding and sheep shearing as well as boarding a ferry to transport us
through the many glaciers and fjords en route to Chile.
We hope everyone is well and on a special note, Happy Birthday Lor. Have a lovely day and we hope you like your presents.
Take care, missing you lots. Love Nate & Anna XX
