Torres Del Paine-Patagonia


For the Labyrinth lovers -- The Bog of Eternal Stench, or was is my hiking boots??





Oh the joys of a dry peanut butter sandwich, lunch each day on the ´W´ circuit hike. I actually seriously contemplated leaving this one in the rain to lubricate the four day old bread, it was that good! Yummmmmm. Jos, for the record it was smooth PB.


There is something seriously cool about ice burgs.


Greys Glacier


For Amy New, some native Chilean geese for you. And for the Goose, I thought of you and Derek when I spotted these guys (not the gooslings!). Hope Sydney is treating the pair of you awesomely.


Torres del Paine, the hike to the look out quickly revealed itself as the ´towers of pain´. I met with a band of ol´ British oil company CEO retirees living in Costa Rica. They offered me a swig of their finest single malt at the summit, and then dinner at the five star refugio after the decent. It would have been rude not to accept (on account of global warming).
