Puerto Natales

So we headed down south for two reasons the Navimag Ferry experience and Torres Del Paine....nothing else to say about Puerto Natales other than it was bloody freezing and very windy until the last day!!

So lets begin with our Torres Del Paine National Parque one day photo shoot tour.
First stop some sort of cave: well it was just a massive hole in a mountain that they charge you 3000 peso to look at and wonder around. Wort hit I hear you cry? my answer to that is NO. I see why its Optional - because its pointless!! So if your heading there don't bother - look at some of these pics and you will see why......

Bearing in mind it was raining and with 100 kph winds ( No joking it really was ) I'm (Terry) inequipt for rain and wind so was starting to wonder what I was doing on this bus.
Before we enter the National Park we of course had to pay another entrance fee 8000 for foreingers like me and 3000 for locals if we were back at home we would never get discount for being local. As we drive up the path we had to stop for a monment to let the wind passed or it might blow the bus over and you could actually feel the bus moving sidde to side stationary.

The national park was lovely with nice sencery different colour lakes, waterfalls bridges snow capped mountains and loads of burnt trees.

Apparently they have had about 50 fires in the national park and you could see where.... lots of dead burnt trees

We snuggled here in this shelter to have a very breezy picnic..

But unfortunantly for us the moment to get the best snap of torres del paine, the weather was so foggy - so here are our best efforts.

So disappointing!!!

But if you wanted another look at torres del paine look at the chilean 1000 note

After our hard day 'not trekking' and jumping out of the bus every few miles for a snap I was wonderful company..

Now for the main reason we came to this wind and rain swept town.. The NaviMag Ferry.. unfortunately for us we had to wait days in puerto natales as our orginal ferry was cancelled and the replacement was delayed!!!! we both are now expects at cards and uno!!
