Ola people,

Right now we are situated about as far south as a human can get, the last town before you would find yourself on a boat to the antartic circle, surrounded by polar bears, penguins and quickly shrinking parts of the anatomy.

Check out the Perito Moreno Glacier on the web for the place we went yesterday, its pretty breathtaking, and makes you feel slightly insignificant seeing as its been there for the last 1.5 million years, is 100 miles long, 60 metres high, and is cooler than i ever could hope to be. Still not quite as cool as Keith Richards though, even at -2 degrees. Anyway we have some ace snaps of it, which when we can figure out how to,(50% of which means when i can be bothered to get the usb cable out of my tip of a rucksack) we will upload and post here.

Tomorrow we make a 27 hour coach trip to Bariloche, the bottle of whiskey and ipod combination will hopefully make for an intoxicated relativlely cramp free trip. Bariloche is the the lake district of Argentina, hopefully sunny and beautiful. We are going to stay here for about 4 days, take in the sights, hike around the mountains (me carrying Nat probably) and chill out before we head further north to Mendoza and finally jump in a swimming pool.

see ya
