From Torres del Paine we returned to pick up our missing member, had a very indulgent hot chocolate and made our way to south towards Punta Arenas, however before we got there, we traveller an hour to visit the Ottway penguin colony, which consisted of 4 rather uninteresting penguins....

So make this entry short and sweet we made it to Punta Arenas where we stayed at a rather interesting hotel which could be described as plush 1970's communist porn set where we slept and then departed for Tierra del Fuego (land of fire) and ultimately to Argentina again, yes once again we criss crossed the border.

Along the way we stopped at a ghost town, deserted 70 - 80 years ago, so the storey tells, the town was site to a shipwreck, the sailors swam to shore in need of assistance to help save others, but because of the strong winds, no one could hear them knocking, and the sailors perished in the harsh stormy sea. Back on to Peggy and off we set, again.

We arrived in Rio Grande in the evening, for another night of rest, well for some anyways, a certain group of young ladies hit the town, and one in particular arrived in taxi, practically with a drink still in hand as we all sat awaiting her return on Peggy, ready to head of for Ushuaia..... the end of the world, and the beginning of everything.
