Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt - On the Boat

---

After our 4 day intense trek we decided to jump on the Navimag Boat (Cargo ship) with Andy the Irishman, Matt the Aussie and Simon the dude from Austria. The boat took us from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt along side the west coast of Chile.

With great weather we sailed for 3 days in total, through amazing sounds, bush and mountain ranges. On the csecond night we were inside the bridge watching the crew navigate through ice fields by moonlight. Jana felt like she was on Titantic even though they were not very big iceburgs!

After some travel sickness tablets we both had long day naps and recovered our bodies from the trek. There was not much to do on the boat but take in the beautiful views and narrow passes. So Jana began knitting more beanies, teaching Andy and Matt how to knitt, watched many movies and Drew took many Grandpa naps.

We were sad to see the cows in the cattle trucks squished in so tight that they had to stand the whole journey while there food was tossed on top of their heads. We arrived in Puerto Montt refreshed and ready to get on the move again. We hopped on to a bus back to Argentina and on to El Bolson ( a hippie town where locals brew there own beer, make there own cheese and run organic farms). Now we are waiting to catch a bus - going fully Cama (which means where the seats turn into beds and you get food and drinks) - all the way to Puerto Madryn where we will hopefully see the Whales.
