Planning Patagonia

Alliteration, what a great way to title a post. Anyway ...

Today was planning day. After lots of thinking and mulling over the options, we decide what we are going to do next. We actually decided yesterday, but it was a bank holiday - so we did all the booking today.

We are going to Patagonia.

T has decided that a few things need to change with respect to the planning process. Namely:


  1. There is one
  2. We decide how we are getting from A to B rather than just turn up at A wondering where B might be (geddit?)
  3. We pre-book accomodation
  4. Pre-booked accomodation has to proportionally good to the coldness of the expected weather. (I think she just made this one up)
  5. Umm - that's all I can figure out at the moment - but I think there may be new ones popping up.

So, we are going to fly to Ushuaia (at the bottom of S.America - how cool is that?); stay there for four nights and do some trips; fly up to El Calafate (where there are glaciers and stuff); stay there for three nights; get a bus to Puerto Natales; Get on a ferry for four nights through the Chilean coast up to Puerto Montt; get a bus to Puerto Varas; Take a two day bus and boat journey back across the Andes to Bariloche.

Wish us luck. We are going to spend the next week in BsAs sight-seeing and buying warm clothes.
