Begining with Patagonia...

Just a quick hi from Patagonia in South America, as the night is getting late and we have another early start tomorrow. We´ve just returned from a 3 day camping trip in Patagonia, where we spent the last two days hiking amongst the grand ice-capped mountains. Yeah we were a bit crazy to chose to camp in this weather, but anything to save money you know! Every morning I wake up to the sound of the wind howling outside the tent, and imagine our tent in the middle of the wind tunnel, and us being the test subjects. Thank goodness to the warm sleeping bags. The scenery was dramatic and well worth the effort, but I feel so unfit amongst the fellow campers, who carry huge backpacks and battle the elements to walk from one camp site to another. We chose the easy option of basing ourselves in the same place and return to it every night. And in the morning we find our food has been rat attacked!

Can´t believe it was just over a week ago when I finished work and struggled with the house and trip packing. I´m having a great time, will write more later and hope to hear from some of you!
