Puerto Natales

We are currently in Puerto Natales, biding our time before spending three days in Parque Torres del Paine.  The town isn't much to look at, but it's located on a beautiful sound with a very cool name: Seno Última Esperanza (Last Hope Sound).  Magge included two pictures in her travel post yesterday, and we were able to take a few more good ones today, in spite of bad weather.

I know there have been a lot of entries lately on the website, but we're trying to get our writing in because once we leave Puerto Natales, we likely won't be posting again until we get to Santiago next Wednesday, and it will be difficult to post again after that until we get to New Zealand on March 14.  That should give you time to catch up (especially you, Liam - waiting on your comments!).

    That will be an interminably long wait until the next post. What shall I do with my time? :) I think I will attend to my chores in the meantime. By the time you come back to this website Liam will definitely have posted his astute comments and questions.
    What a serene seascape.

    Lucie's right, what a serene seascape, I love it. I have never seen a black neck swan before, are they indigenous to that part of the world? Hope the weather is good the next 3 days, will be thinking of you and all you will be experiencing

    I didn´t know you were so interested in New Zealand, Liam! We'll make sure to do extra posts just for you. Let us know if there is anything special about New Zealand that you would like us to post about.

    Marcia, yes, the swans are native to southern South America. In fact, they are the largest waterfowl native to the continent. Questions answered and extra tidbits provided: that's the service you get with Hostel Honeymoon.
