Published: November 19th 2010

Made it without a scratch, bussing from Santiago to Patagonia tonight. Should be a fun trip. Not looking forward to the wind or cold after the pleasant north but...... And then just a few hours before catching the bus some bastard stole the camera out of my hands. I was in plaza de Armes sitting on a bench taking snaps when a bloke came from behind, grabbed the camera and took off across the road... Read Full Entry

unexciting vegetation, and so much of it

I like trees

Mount Fitzroy

More Ice than you could fit in the esky

El Calafate

Santiago Mushrooms

Well yes they are in the market

Mushrooms

something different

hmmm tobaconist

on the way back to El Bolson

All over the place

No idea what these are but they are noisy. Remind me of a cartoon character in the Bugs Bunny Martiän cartoons

Below Fitzroy

Ice on the lake

Punta Arenas cemetary

a little different

Punta Arenas

another view of the cemetary

Looking down on Lago Jakob

Refugio Jacob is at the bottom right of the lake

Punta Veras, Dile

Ok its meant to show an interesting weave of electrical cables. We have all seen far messier in places but it still awes me

The ridge between Lago Frey and Jacob

2 hours of up

Ah yes, somewhere in Argentina

Typical view in the Bariloche region

self evident really

Christmas eve

Well we had to really

Note that the background is bamboo, and more bamboo

WOW those glaciers
How impressive they are. Have you identified the fungi? Are they similar to the ones in NZ? On beech trees? Keep enjoying yourself..but your Dads coast looks too big. Have you shrunk?

Photos r good Dais
Nice to see you can put some photos up Dais. Will show dad tomorrow. He says he will look at your blog. I left him step by step instructions. Sarah did her biology re-sit exam today, it was the same as 2 wks ago. Her maths is on Fri. Hoping she scrapes thru both of course. Lucy and Ike drop over our way almost daily for internet but seem to be going ok at Senang. I return Sat. Been nice here, not wet or humid like home. R u warm enough!! Snow and glaciers must be cooling. Did you buy some boots? Is there internet cafes in most places or backpackers/youth hostels? R u getting around with others or mainly by yourself? Safer with others surely. Yes the worried sis talking. So take care dais. M

At last
a decent looking cluster of different fungi. Have you managed to score a reference book on S A funghi yet? Might be better to leave it until just before you leave or it will be stolen anyway......I suppose travelling without a camera, phone or ipod is a lighter way to travel! Happy Christmas and New Year wherever you are....M n Jx

great piccies
Hi Bro, Keep up the informative blogs & piccies as you're showing us some great scenery. Bad luck about the food poisoning but how did you walk with that? Glad you are meeting nice people who let you stay in their hostel! The cat looks very cute, will it fit in your rucksack?

Love the phone booth
I'm loving the photos - the phone booth looks great, though not sure if there's much room for a quick change out of that bamboo affected clothing. This is a great way for you to keep in touch with your family, who are obviously missing you. Keep smiling. Georgie
