You'll have had 'yurt' tea


Well, tomorrow morning we have to leave our luxury yurt. It has been wonderful. Patagonia Camp is like another world and the Torres del Paine National Park very beautiful. Our guide has taken us on several treks with amazing views and loads of wildlife. The park seems quite quiet at the moment - I suppose high season is a few weeks yet - and the weather has been very changeable - about two inches of snow yesterday morning and very windy today.

Ah well, back to having to think for ourselves tomorrow, as we travel down to Punta Arenas. Alan is hoping for a penguin encounter so hopefully lots of fun pictures of the little cuties tomorrow.


Bird of the day...

... is definitely the Andean Condor. We've seen several circling around on the thermals and one in a field. It was as big as a sheep, honestly!
