Volcano's everywhere...

We survived the Carretera Austral which was a rattling but gorgeous trip. Now overviewing the Bay of Puerto Montt with Volcano Osorno and Calbuco in the far distance. We take a few days rest here before we pick up Marco's Mom and continue to the Lakes district and to Bariloche in Argentina, where we intend to stay for Christmas (with 20-25 degrees and no snow, cold and darkness, it feels different)

Home made bread

My first attempt of making home made bread away from home was a succes!  I used my dutch oven for the first time on a bricket fire and it turned out ok. Still up for some improvement but even the kids liked it! They want me to make it every day now....

Still alive

The last 2 weeks it was a bit quiet. We were facing no phone coverage and ample internet availability while camping and hiking in El Chalten. Beautiful trekkings in the Fitz Roy mountains, and thereafter rambling on Ruta 40 heading North and visited Cueva de los Manos

Now we are close to the Chilean border in Perito Moreno. Tomorrow go Chili Chico and then
1000km gravel to Chiloe en route to Puerto Montt where we have to be on December 17th
to pick up Marco's Mom

now we are heading for the Carratera Austral to Chiloe

We are in El Calafate / Perito Moreno

2 days of visiting Perito Moreno. Overnight camping in the park, unfortunately at a distance from the glacier as camping in the parking lot is not allowed anymore and they simply wait till you leave, but even from a distance it is great and cool to see first thing in the morning from you window.
Now going to El Chalten in Argentina for more glaciers and hiking

Torres del Paine NP

Two 'wanderfull' days of hiking.

Although the wind was fierce and we are in full winter outfit we are enjoying ourselves with the shorter hikes in the park. Maybe we try a longer one later this week.....

Very pleased

Although he spend another day repairing things in the camper in the end he was very pleased. Not because everything was fixed but with his homeland brew beer....

From Tierra del Fuego to Chile

After our visit in Ushuaia and the Tierra del Fuego National Park, we drove back to Rio Grande and later on the Porvenir, Chile to take the ferry across Magallan Strait to Punta Arenas where we are now. Our next stop will be the Torres del Paine N.P, but we need to prepare first with sufficient food, water, gas,diesel and do our laundry.
