EL CHALTEN (FITZ ROY NATIONAL PARK)- after all that trekking, i still did more trekking. and i went ice climbing...with crampons for boots and ice picks, i climbed a glacier!!! woohoo!!! exhilirating...oh and the views were great too...some even compared to torres del paine.

It seems everyone in South America is travelling for months...and evryone is gettin away from something or has an agenda. although im travellin solo, i never feel alone. its actually hard to get time to yourself!! i never know what im doing from day to day or where i end up...but thats the beauty of this trip...its not a holiday, its an experience!

miss u all heaps!! but not enough that i feel i need to get back home!!
hope u are all making the most of each day in your own way!! if anyone is making their way across here, send me a message by email or mobile +61403172349,
