Kayaking with the dinosaurs.

I took a day off yesterday being rather fatigued from walking, bus travel and cruising.  It was great to simply chill and do not much at all. But. One day is enough, I cannot do this for long. Champing at the bit to do something, and something special I leafed through the brochures at the hostel and espied one that offered kayaking on the rio la Leona for a full day, stopping off at los Hornos where there are dinosaur bones and remnants of a petrified forest. the guides gave a thorough rundown of the geological and early dinosaur history, the birds, animals and plants in the area on the way making the run to the start seem like nothing.

Fitz Roy, El Chalten Argentina.

Ever since my visit to Torres del Paine in Chile in 2010 I have wanted to visit Fitz Roy in Argentina. The voyage to Antarctica provided an opportune moment for me to add it at the end before my return to Australia. Because of the wildly fluctuating weather in this region, I allowed five days to see it and managed to see the object of my quest on the 3rd. I was not disappointed, being rewarded with stunning views.
