Gabriel, el Capitan. A man with a moustache, and very fond of shouting 'Rumbo, rumbo! Tenés que aprender!"



On the return leg.



Jamie, inches from death, in the act of waste disposal, subsequent to his failure to perform in the normal manner due to stage fright.

Ushaia - Torres del Paines - Bariloche

Jamie and I bought a tent in Ushuaia from a French girl in a hostel. Allegedly a wind tent, it cost 130 Pesos, and in practice inspires little confidence in its ability to withstand heavy gusts. Here is a photo of where we camped to test it out on the first night, on top of a small mountain/hill. The tent's serious draft problem has meant that Jamie has to sleep under a space blanket to keep warm whenever we take it out. Still, less than 26 quid...



More Ushuaia - Elmo and I viewed from Glaciar Martial.




Estancia Haberton, one of the oldest places in Tierra del Fuego.



Crossing from Punta Arenas.
