Ciao Chile, Alo Argentina

Following our tiring few days in Torres, we had an early night in our hostel in Puerto Natales, got some laundry done, and took a bus south to Punto Arenas. Here, we found another great hostel where we chatted with the owner, Rodrigo, and his wife until the early hours of the morning. A really fun night.

The next day, 4 Oct, we had a wander up to Punto Arenas's huge cemetery; a eerie but interesting experience!



In the afternoon, we set out for Rio Gallegos, and finally arrived in our second country of the trip, Argentina! We had little trouble with our first few Argentinian encounters, missing the comfort of our new-found home of Chile, but things were soon ironed out, and we were on our way to Puerto Madryn, 18 hours bus ride north, and a haven for whale watchers!
