12-13/11/11travelling by bus...

Today we travel from Rio Grande to Punta Arenas. The wind and the almost 200 km of flat pampas of the Isla Grande just totally win against our motivation. So we look the bushes and the ships and the skies and the clouds through our window

and hope better conditions for the next days...

Meanwhile all those thought pass through our minds we arrive at the Chile/Argentina boundary. Here we spend more than half an our in our to get stamps on our passport and to pass all our luggage through the detector machineand leave all fruits, vegetables, honey, meat and plenty of other good things at the customers...

After a while on a ripiobunpy road we join the Stretto di Magellano, the canal which separates the Tierra del Fuego from the South America!

After 20 minutes on a small ferry we arrive on the continent, just anothe little hour and we will be finally in Punta Arenas.

There we find a nice hostel and we offer us, to compensate the not-extremely-good-mood-day, a great dinner in a charming and really really good restaurant of the city celebrating our arrive in Chile with a delicious fish dinner and drinking our first pisco sour!

The next day the wond is even more stronger...we try to make a small bike tour but we almost can't move...very demotivated we decide to book a bus to travel from here to Puerto Natales...

At 18.00 on the afternoon when we leave the city, there is almost no wind and a beatiful sun is shining. We (Lum much more than Bac) feel not confortable with our bus transition. The landscape are nice and we are not making our bike travel, but that is for today.

We decide that tomorrow we will take our bike in any case because wreally want to cycle from here through the National park till to the starting point (in the laguna Algarga) of our 8 days trek around the Torres del Paine!
