The end of the road




Here we are again after our longest break from a PC - apologies for the silence but we have been in the middle of nowhere and rather busy! This is just a quick entry for now (poor connection and hideously expensive) to let you know that we have completed the full 1,247 km of the Carretera Austral and crossed the border from Chile back into Argentina - a two-day epic involving two ferries, lots of bicycle pushing, and the invaluable assistance of horses.
We are now in El Chalten at the foot of the spectacular Fitz Roy massif in the Parque Nacional de los Glaciares and will spend a week or so here to give ourselves a break from the saddle and time to do some trekking. We´re still enjoying beautiful blue skies so you can expect some pretty cool photos in the next entry. Hasta pronto.
