Sport headline!


The highlights of these last days were the trek on the Perito Moreno Glaciar, kayaking on the Gutiérrez Lake, the bike ascent of the Cerro Cathedral next to Bariloche, the trek in the fresh snow of the National Park Torres del Paine, another trek in the National Park Los Glaciares. It was very pleasant and in addition to breathe fresh air, I got to know nice people. I will mention Paula from Canada, Mike and Victoria (resp from England and France), my first friends from Bermuda: Nicola & Haly, Alexandra and Fernanda from Brazil, Chem from Israel, Shona, Dany & Raj from England, Stasy from Australia.
At the moment I am enjoying the tranquillity of a place called El Bolsón with Chem. There is basically nothing to do in this hippie village except reading which is exactly what I was looking for after so much sport.

Ushuaia or the end of the world.


After the intense experience of skydiving, I decided to chill in Ushuaia. The town itself is not very interesting, but the surroundings are incredibely wonderful and peacefull. On the first day I went to trek with two German girls in the National Park Tierra del Fuego. But after one hour, we got lost and decided to split. I took a shortcut trough the woods while they opted for going back to the starting point.
One the second day, and after a big party the night before I joined my Brazilian, Israeli and Engish friends, for a cruise on the Canal de Beagle. In addition to great landscapes, we saw sea lions and cormorans resting respectivly on their small island on the canal. I have to say that I am a bit disappointed as I did not see pinguins because they had left a month ago to Antartica.

Back in the business!


I finally could put online my pictures of Bolivia; even tough some of them are missing, it is worth to have a look. On the top of that this last days I felt like a bird falling from the sky at 200km/h. Indeed, I decided to try skydiving. Enjoy the pictures. Tomorrow I am going to Ushuaia and promise more stunning pictures.
