The visitation of P.J. / A. J. in Seattle

Now you see it / now you don't

2 weeks of beard, gone in seconds!
(ignore the serial killer in the mirror!)

Back to BA

BA and close to the return home.

More Mendoza Malbec

More from the wine country.

Onwards

Next part of the trip was across the steppe to the East Coast of Argentina and then to the Mendoza wine country.

This is El Calafate in Argentina and the SPECTACULAR merino Glacier. One of my favourite parts of the trip. The Glacier walls are 60m above the water line and 120m below...

Back to Argentina

The last day of the Paine Trek and the trip back across the Chile / Argentina border.

Finally, the Torres

Towards the end of the circuit and the final climb to the Torres themselves.
"Gato Negro'' (the top quality boxed wine) proved to be a life saver.

Torres, of paine

More of the circuit. This is the day after the pass. The Glacier below is the Grey Glacier.

Onwards! This is the start of the (epic) Torres Del Paine circuit. The first couple of days were sunny....

These pics are of Punta Arenas and Nick & I visiting the penguins .... ahhhh ! By the way, Nick is impersonating Bernando O'Higgins (liberator of Chile) .... rather than anyone more sinister
