Well what excitement! We are finally back on 2 wheels again, having returned to Rio Mayo to collect our bikes. Teresa had looked after them well in our absence (they were sat in the hotel function room draped with dust covers). We had a lovely footnote to our adventures in Rio Mayo on the Tuesday […]

Comodoro Rivadavia
We are now enjoying a short break from our travels. We left the car back last Wednesday and have been resting up in Comodoro Rivadavia in the rather pleasant Victoria Hotel. Mag’s arm is gaining strength every day and we have arranged for Lito, our van man, to pick us up on Monday to return […]
The City At The End of the World! Ushuaia
Ushuaia could rightfully claim itself to be a jewel of a city. It does not contain beautiful buildings – it is mostly a collection of tin roofed single story dwellings built to withstand the horrific winter conditions of wind, snow & ice in this extreme land – nor has it a pleasing layout, built like […]
The End of the World! Tierra Del Fuego & Ushuaia
Well we have now reached the bottom or should I say the start of our trip! Ushuaia – the southernmost city in the world, sited on the shores of the Beagle Channel. To get here, we left Torres Del Paine and drove south to Punta Arenas. Just outside Puerto Natales we stopped the car at […]

The Moreno Glacier is quite special as it moves relatively fast, advancing several metres per day (it is one of […]
Comodoro Rivadavia to El Calafate
News of our mishap travelled fast around Rio Mayo and next thing a guy called Lito called into the hotel asking about the crazy gringo’s who’d had the accident. Lito is a bank courier and every day he drives from Comodoro Rivadavia on the coast (where we can get a hire car) to Rio Mayo […]
San Carlos de Bariloche to Rio Mayo
Argentina was a country we had low expectations of before this trip. We initially viewed it as just a transit place to get through to visit the southern jewels of the Moreno Glacier, Torres del Paine & Ushuaia. And as to the people, the only Argentineans we’d ever set eyes on were on TV back […]
San Carlos de Bariloche
We have now been in South America for 2 weeks and it just gets better and better. From Viña we rode south to Chillan, picking up the Pan American Highway for the first time. It has the appearance of a motorway – dual carriageway in very good condition, with toll sections in places. However unlike […]
