Friday 7th November 2014
Early in the morning we leave Punta Arenas heading for Punta Delgada and Primera Angostura where three ferries run permanently from 8:30 hrs in the morning to 1:00 hrs at night between the mainland and Tierra del Fuego.
With summer arriving in Patagonia, we are reminded that it is Christmas soon…

Who has the right of way?
Woohoo – we’re crossing the Strait of Magellan to Tierra del Fuego!

Crossing into Argentina – and here, too, the nation grows…

As you know, we prefer to travel by day and as we’ve heard that the lakes and mountains around Tolhuin and Ushuaia are very beautiful, we decide to stop over in Río Grande and continue our journey in daylight.

Still a sensitive issue – to be discussed with caution here
We are glad to spot a sense of humour as well!
Although, when dinner time comes, we decide to ignore the appeal… 😉
