On crossing the border at customs it was strange to see highlights of Norwich playing Liverpool on the TV! Nowich lost 4-5! Normally I (Phil) would be pleased but I have adopted Norwich as many conversations involve premier league football and no-one has heard of Ipswich!
We stayed in Puerto Natales, a very nice town on the Ultima Esperanza - Last Hope sound. The scenery and buildings are different this far south. From here the national park is about 2 hours away although we had to wait a couple of days for a storm to pass before we went. The wind was the strongest we have ever seen - it is Patagonia!
This looks like the hand in the Atacama desert that we have yet to see.
Torres del Paine is famous for its granite torres and granite/sediment rock 'horns' as well as waterfalls, lakes and glaciers. A very beautiful place.
We also visited a cave where the remains of a giant sloth or Myladon were found.
The water front at Puerto Natales was lovely, especially as the sun went down - about 2200!
