Despite problems with computers being like an abacus for speed we have today got online. Went to the Tierra Del Fuego National Park today and spent an enjoyable 5 hours with a guide showing us the local wild life and beaver dams.
He described how the new migrants sorted out the local indigenous people in the 1860's, they shot them all and cut off their ears and made necklaces out of them......
The park is only about 10km from town. It's along a dry dusty road. Mountains about the height of those inland from Hokitika, with lakes full of trout I'm sure Denis Pfahlert would love to chase. The southern most post office in the world was paid a visit, and Liz bought some stamps there. We also visited the end of the Pan American highway, which starts in Alaska and is 17886km long. Its about 3000km from here to Buenos Aires.
John went shopping for dinner tomorrow night with his cook group. Because we are crossing the border into Chile tomorrow we have to cook a meal without meat and veges / as you can't take fresh food over the border.
Tomorrow we drive back to the ferry crossing to the mainland about 500km away, into Chile. May be offline for a few days. We are visiting the Torres del Paine National Park for 5 days and doing some treking.
