Flutter Top Of Abdomen

February 16, 2011

Every trip, whether or not planned, and without end, once the round ends. Our trip was planned as the most inclusive of the date of return and now he comes closer to its inevitable end. We sit on the bus (I will not say, very comfortable) and deduct a further km to Buenos Aires (and there are quite a lot). The road passes through a typical Patagonian pampa. Some (including Ani) may seem that this tedious and monotonous landscape, but for me it is beautiful, a little desert, with views for many miles in the distance, appearing here and there with hills and hills with strange shapes, sometimes even in August will have any lake. To the sun and the cool music from MP3 player. From this it would be better just enjoying these views from my own car the road before us stretching far into the distance, on the distant horizon. The ride into the unknown as she waits in August, what will the next corner, behind the next hill. A bit like when entering the gore, when the top lookout in August every hill, only that in this case, look out for the end of the road a lot more of a longing for achieving the objective and well-deserved rest.

I can not say the same about our current trip to Buenos Aires, although the ride itself makes fun of us (me more than Ani). Back to Buenos Aires and then to the Polish and Swedish marks the end of long journeys for some time. Somewhere surely we can pull on some shorter trip, because we do not know how to sit still for too long boobs, but it will not klikumiesieczne expedition, when greatest concern is the issue of accommodation, or transport from place to place, which is always to do, provided that you have money:)

And just for earning the money you need to go back. There are those who travel for very little money sometimes for several years, but the way the different harm them, not always exciting activities to earn some money, or simply have nowhere to sleep or what to eat. But we do not belong to them, perhaps because of the innate laziness, which implies that traveling is to be happy, and not a job, and maybe this is a question of age. Incredible comfort of our trip is the fact that we simply can not afford that in the event of unforeseen expenses, we are in some way protected from we do not have to sleep in a tent, cook on a field kitchen, or ride stop. It is also of course can be (and for many it is) fun, and even an end in itself, but not for us.

But everyone travels in a different way, for other reasons: the curiosity of the world, willing to meet new people, to preview a nature, "method" known and recommended attractions, and also to check in or simply for the sake of travel, curiosity being on the road , with no plans and duties, in search of the meaning of life, or himself, whatever that might mean.

Our previous journeys were probably connecting it all and although some of the impressions and images they begin slowly coalesce to us or to fade, we hope you will stay in our memory enough much to yearn for this and for a while once again cut off a little from the routine, "throw it all" and the like in the song: you can take the train just any, although in our case it will be probably the first row in the plane ...

Push On Mole It Hurts

15 February 2011

We are again in Bariloche. To get here we took yesterday the famous Seven Lakes Road. There are more then seven lakes but some require Addition driving or hiking. The weather was beautiful, so the driving was like a dream: blue and green lakes and mountains Among hilltops. The Road has only 110 km but with so many views on the way it is hard not to stop at every Possibility, every viewpoint. We also took two detours to smaller lakes and our favorite was Lago Espejo Chico, Which Agnieszka tells me, means Small Mirror Lake (there is also Espejo Grande). We took a dirt road to a small camping place just by that lake. It was completely quiet (just a few people bathing) and peaceful, reflecting nearby mountains and forests. Only a few fish broke the surface. We spend a long while there enjoying the tranquillity of the place.

We returned the car and the next day, as the weather was still perfect, we decided to claim a nearby mountain, not very high, called Cerro Viejo. Someone told us we could climb it and ride down on a chair lift. But we when we reached the lift bottom station there seemed to be no path up. We walked frustrated along the busy road until I spotted one unpaved road leading up. We assumed, correctly, that it would lead to some houses on the slope, but we hoped also we could at least have some views from above. So we walked, and walked, and walked until we reached another unpaved road, still going up. We continued up until Agnieszka realised that this road probably leads to Cerro Otto, a much higher mountain with a cable car station on top (at some 1405 m). We had not planned to climb Cerro Otto, we knew the road is some 8 km long, always up. But once on it we could not go back. The views were just fantastic! We kept saying we would at least go down in the cable car. Tired but happy we reached the top, only to find out that… the cable car does not go down due to heavy wind. And so another 8 km on foot (plus some extra to get to town and our hostel).

Now there will be no walking for a while as we take a buss tomorrow to Buenos Aires and the journey lasts some 20 hours. We have seats that can be almost entirely reclined into a lying position but still being locked in a buss for that long is tough.

We will spend two days in BA and then we fly back home. I guess this will be the last I write in English about our trip. It was a marvellous journey, we were blessed with weather, the sights were just amazing and the people most kind. That is another thing to be remembered about Argentina, (and Chile for that matter): the kindness and friendliness of its inhabitants. A few spots left a particularly strong memories and a wish to come back: Ushuaia (perhaps to continue into Antarctica and Torres del Paine we were forced to miss), El Chalten, Lanin and Villarica NPs, Patagonia as a whole. The beauty of this country is overwhelming and we will miss it with all our hearts.

And we are back to Argentina, and, I am sorry to say, much less Diversified diets. I kept complaining about this is Agnes, especially the lack of vegetables but mostly about lack of choice in restaurants and bars. Oh well, I guess I am just a little tired and start missing home.

We drove from Chile to Argentina through Lanin National Park, beautiful and large park carrying the name of the volcano Lanin towering above surrounding mountains. It is kind of fun to cross borders almost at the volcano base.

We arrived in a small town called Junin de Los Andes, hot and dusty village which might be somewhat boring if not for the fact that just these few days there was a festival in honour of 128 years since town establishment. The festival meant a gathering of local cowboys or gauchos, festively dressed, often on horses, and a market of all goods, from saddles and lassos to t-shirts and yerbamate cups. We walked and walked and could not resist spending a little money on some of the local products.

The very next day, as if we have not driven enough, we decided to visit Laguna Blanca National Park, some 200 km away from Junin. Beats me why it is called Blanca, it has nothing white about it. But it is a pretty lake with lots of water birds, incl. flamigos and black-necked swans. We were all alone there which added to its charm. After walking down the beach, watching the birds, we decided to walk back to the car along the road in hope of spotting an armadillo. Of course there was none but just as we gave up and turned towards the car, there it was, simply crossing the road we had previously walked. Much smaller than I had thought and gray, not brown as I´d expected (but that could be the fault of ever-present dust). A funny little fellow in its armour, wailing tail.

We spent a few days in Junin and then moved to San Martin de Los Andes. The purpose was to visit the Lanin NP. We took a winding road by the Curruhue Lakes and down to Laguna Verde. As we drove, the road just got worse and worse, full of holes, stones and generally not very suitable for a small car like ours. But our Blondie, as we’d called it, made it just fine (thanks to Agnieszka’s driving, let’s face it). Just as we got to a little camping place by Laguna Verde, the weather turned worse so we took very fast a few pictures and started a run against the coming storm. We made it safe, only Blondie was no longer blondie, covered with thick layer of dust both outside and inside. The storm turned to be not very hard so it did not wash it very well and, when in San Martin, Agnieszka spent over an hour trying to clean it inside (especially the trunk) with wet tissues.

We tried to make another attempt at Lanin NP but the road to lake Huechulafquen we chose was unpassable after that storm and we had to turn back. Today we went into the park to another mirador (viewpoint) with quite a view over the lake by which San Martin de Loas Andes lies (and the weather was perfect). Next we went to really beautiful Chachin waterfalls and after that we wanted to go to yet another viewpoint. The road turned to be very bad so at some point we decided we could use some exercise. We left the car by the road and decided to walk (do I need to mention these are the forest roads, unpaved of course). Just as we walked a few hundred meters we saw a few bulls and cows blocking the path. Fortunately a moment later they hid in the forest. On we went and there was a white cow waiting for us in the middle of our way. We tried to scare it, talked to it, I even begged, to which she started to walk towards us. This was no fun for city girls like us and we started to “calmly” retreat. The cow continued after us for a while, making us forget the whole notion of walking anywhere that day.

Tomorrow we will drive the famous Seven Lakes Road back to Bariloche and then return the car. Hopefully no wild cows on the road.

New Practice Letter To Other Doctors

February 15, 2011

zakonczylysmy Yesterday our trip by car and we are back in Bariloche. Two days ago came back
beautiful weather and we went to back to the Lanin National Park, this time to its southern part, from which in principle can not see the volcano, probably that someone will choose the top of one of the surrounding high mountains. Us a little discouraged by the prospect of several hours of climbing, especially, from the rumored trails are quite steep. So we went for the lazy option and we went as far as you can drive along the lake and went to Lacar Chachin waterfalls, which indeed proved to be so impressive, as we said. Then he wanted to climb even though a vantage point, but we had to get to the trail for him. The road, however, increasingly narrowed in August, was getting full of holes, and after recent rains appeared in the pool at the entire width of the journey, so I finally zostawilysmy car on the road and move the latter postawnowilysmy 3 km on foot. Here, however, a surprise waiting for us, in fact a cow. First appeared on the road a few cows and the bull, which, however, descended to the side to the forest and minelysmy them without any problem. In any case every one of us he got a stick and we moved on. On the next hill but we stood eye to eye with the cow, which was located in the middle road. She looked at us askance and with suspicion in spite of that we tried to scare me walking down more slowly toward her and would not even move. She leaned leb (and had quite a sharp and pointed horns), lypnela eye, roared, and she moved (luckily slowly) on our page. Faced with such adversity byslysmy helpless, because none of us had no desire to fight with this wild beast. Zawrocilysmy so, and, glancing at the cow, which piece of disputes without the rush following us, we got to the car. And so ended our visit at the point of view. After all that was waiting us still return 50 km on gravel roads through the park, which, according to guides, is well maintained, but did not quite know what it has to rely, because she was full of holes and wyboi. But our car, as usual, did a brave.
him a little so we decided to give back and clean sands of the worst he has gathered in the interior. While waiting the next day we still travel to Bariloche partly gravel road, on which also reportedly starsznie August hens (which was the most truthful), but we had hoped that after the first cleaning, we will be only cosmetic changes before putting the car. Amazingly managed to soprowadzic interior alright for itself with a small brush and wet wipes. Yesterday I went

the so-called Bariloche. Seven Lakes Road. Lakes is really more, but some are a bit hidden and you have them on foot or by. Seven Lakes Road has just 110 km, but half of that gravel road runs, which slows down the passage properly, but when it has such wonderful weather, as we yesterday, the trip takes a whole day, because the man needs a lot of time to stop and admire the views, and of taking photos . Lakes and mountains, wonderful!
Nam's most liked lake Espejo Chico, a small lake mirror, as if it can translate. Takes you to him in 4 km from the main road on a tiny camper on the lake. Around was complete silence, except the few sounds of the bathers, sun warmed, and gory indeed reflected in the lake's surface. Posiedzialysmy there a while, no but in the end we had to move on. In the end we got to Bariloche, without problems (And after a small doczyszczaniu) oddalysmy our brave rally "Blondas" (because it nazwalysmy our autko) and we went to the hostel as we know it already 41Below, in which we feel particularly good, because finally, the language of English breakfast is here.

Today we had a turn, do a light day with a short trip to nearby Cerro Viejo Gorke. One arrives there, a chair lift, we had but we hope it will be also some sort of path of gore. Unfortunately, we found none, so in desperation and seeking views, we moved along the street toward the cable car riding on the other gore, Cerro Otto (much higher around 1400 m). We wanted to enter the gore, and then descend. Before he came to the train station, Anne noticed what way prowadzaco obviously somewhere in the gore, so I decided to present it to go counting that will lead us to some widoczkow. Way precious uphill the whole time, which was a good sign, and suddenly came to a different, slightly larger, but also a gravel road, which still went up. Not much thinking went searching for the present further views. Our route okazalao out to be quite often frequented by cars with their families in the middle, and clearances between the bushes more often we Migala upper cable car station on Cerro Otto, though distant still a pretty big chunk. So we started to suspect that we are on an 8-km road leading to the top of Cerro Otto, what was confirmed soon. But because we were going to fit well, decided to get to the the top and leave the queue to go down. In the end, moreover, appeared beautiful views of Lake Nahuel Huapi, its islands and the surrounding peaks, and each tube up the views were getting prettier. Needless to say, with the weather we had once again beautiful.
Finally tired, but delighted panorama from the summit, we got to the place. Here was waiting for us small disappointment, because it turned out that the queue will not veer to go down due to too strong wind, and the people who enter will present zwozic buses. In this situation, there remained nothing else for us to get back the 8 km the same road on foot (plus some 1-2 km to the city). In this connection, we decided to dine in rather expensive, but with sytmpatyczna support of the local cafeteria. For lunch we ordered the typical Argentinian Lunches dish: choripan, or chorizo \u200b\u200bsausage served on grilled bread with tomato and spicy chimichurri sauce. After physical effort, but it tastes pretty good. After a rest, meals and beverages supply in August, we moved in dollars continued to enjoy the views, because it was really hard to break away from them.

And tomorrow we get on the bus to Buenos Aires and head in a 20-hour trip to the capital. Well, it already will be almost the end of the voyage. Just last shop in Buenos Aires and the plane, and so home.

We are once again in Argentina in a few days and try to visit some Lanin National Park, what we fail to varying degrees of success, and this is because of the worsening weather. The best views we had the first day when I went through the borders with Chile to Argentina the road, which passes just by the Park Nardowody Lanin. The road is gravel, but fairly neat, except the initial steep section the most. Views were also great, and the border control point was located directly under the volcano, which also makes nice impression.

we found accommodation in the tiny village of Junin de Los Andes, where already in those days festival is held on the occasion of anniversary of the town, who descend on the local cowboys, among other things, that gauczowie. Sa with This festively dressed in white or colored shirts, scarves and hats for this or berets. Immigrated course on horseback, often whole family, so mozlemy lick some local folklore. Are held at the stadium every day some professions, but there does not wybieralysmy for this evening wanders around the market where fair is held, with many stalls stand cowboy toys, but also with the typical "bargains" as blouses, pants, soaps, and for this local equivalent of disco-polo, which is fun for the whole. The day before we went

to another national park, located about 200 km trifle Park Laguna Blanca, a white lake. So far, I do not know why it's called, because the lake was the most blue-green, but we really liked, and views and the local fauna, ie czarnoszyje swans, flamingos and a host of other water birds. For this we were there completely alone. Well, we were able to finally see the battleship alive! Although we quickly turned away, but it was cool, so little piglet in the armor. Yesterday we went

Curruhue over lakes, large and small, in Lanin National Park. We knew that the road to them is only beaten, but not spodziewalysmy that it would be so difficult. At some point, had become very narrow, winding and uneven, with holes and stones, so we only thought was to get there in the end to the campsite, which was the purpose of our trip. We could in the end, but then the weather has changed, clouded over for good and slowly started to gather on the storms. So Zrezygnowalysmy from going on the trail, we went to the lake shore, porobilysmy few pictures and we decided to collect, because obawialysmy August, the road will become even less passable after rain. Our return was effective and no surprises, though a car looks like someone poured him half trucks of sand, which, unfortunately, is also in its interior (looks like it was everywhere), but the car still will not give in August and writes bravely. The storm, which came shortly after I went back to the hostel was not too intense, when it comes to rain, so too we are not wash their cars will. Well, you will probably find some sort of washing and vacuuming the inside of the back. Today

turn Take the lake we had Huechulafquen, also in the Lanin National Park, but here's a surprise waiting for us. On the road to the lake are conducted works and leads a tour through the recess area, where you today, after yesterday's rains, flowed a stream quite rapidly. After an assessment of its depth, realized that it could such a test will not run your car on our poor, because it might be too costly event. We decided to go to another part of the park, but it clouded over and started to rain in earnest, stocks pomknelysmy on to San Martin de Los Andes, where we are today and tomorrow. We hope for better weather, because we count on your journey continues to the next part of the Lanin National Park, but you never know how it will be.

A day after we move already in the way to Bariloche, where we offer car. We will be there again the 15th, and already on Wednesday night in the way we go by bus to Buenos Aires. In fact, we were only a few days of our trip, it's hard to believe. But as it already is ...

Letters For Referrals In Real Estate

February 8, 2011

For several days we are in Pucon, Chile!, But we went so busy that we had our time on any entries. Today, however, we did a lighter day without long trips, which turned out to be completely accurate, because today is so hot that you can barely breathe, which is not conducive to physical effort. And now just started to thunder and rain, so maybe a little cooled down.

from entering Chile there was no problem, it took us even less time than in the transit bus. We we went of course taken over documents on the fulfillment of the car, especially since everything was in English, but at the end of some clerk took the paper from us and smile, crumpled up and threw it into the trash, because it turned out to be completely unnecessary.

So, we are in Chile and follow the trail of volcanoes. The first night we had in the tiny village of Ensenada, which indeed the surrounding volcanoes, most of them, moreover, active from time to time (luckily for us, not now.) Nam favorite was the volcano Osorno, who looks the most classically beautiful snow-cone, although they did not smoke. There we were able to see it in all its glory on the first day, when we went over the waterfalls Petrohue and Lake Todos los Santos, but the next day the whole been revealed, and We were glad of his views all the way to Puerto Varas, where We stopped for lunch and shopping. In Puerto Varas we found cafes also a familiar sounding name "Mama", where Anna tried to cake mommy, a delicacy bet. You could also buy his own chocolate production, and logos bet there are a krakowiaczka and krakowianki. We thought someone from maintenance will speak Polish, but none of that. Later, in Pucon, we met a very nice Poles in Australia, through friends who know the owners of this cafe and it turned out that they do not have nothing to do with Poland (though often to her workout), and the name was created due to copyright problems with the English version. But it's still nice, especially with the drawings hanging in the middle of the Polish cities. Then we moved

to Puconu, very focused on tourist village at the foot of the volcano Villarrica constantly fuming, which we could admire the way already, especially since we went to tour widoczkami, but it is partially dirt road, whom there is no shortage. But our car, despite its small size (Renault Clio) is performing bravely and then under each gore on the most bumpy ride.

Pucon overwhelmed us, the numbers of tourists, we feel right at peak season in Mielno or Leba, especially that there is even a beach, a black for a change, but probably equally crowded like ours in the summer, as shown by the amount of garbage left in the evening, because only at this time odwazylysmy at her go.

Escaping from the crowds so we went to the first day of the National Park Huerquehue, where we ran a ground mole, and unfortunately the road, but somehow we got. We went on the trail leading to the lakes, from which you can also get nice views of the Villarrica volcano and its surroundings. Us a little while, our Lonely Planet przewwodnik cheated because it was written there, the trail is 7 km and the transition of the whole colic takes 4 hours. It turned out that it is four hours one way!, And it also goes a very long uphill from a considerable height difference zigzags, so zasapalysmy August incredibly, no and no we did the whole route, because too late we went at him, but even so we have a very liked and views, and lakes, and characteristic of the surrounding trees, known as Araucaria, a monkey tree, such as if a Christmas tree, just a little different.

Yesterday we went to the Villarica National Park, which lies on the slopes of the volcano. Us a little disappointed in the Park organization, since the guard, who took money from us (as usual fee for foreigners is almost two times greater than for the "natives") had no or maps, or even not able to indicate to us some nice route to polazenia. The only thing we suggested it cruised to a ski resort on the slope of the volcano (which is a lot of fun to go there in the summer, I do not know), or take a trip to the caves volcano, which of course are private and need to pay extra. Luckily I managed to find out when entering the camp, the caves near the trail is also a nice trail called craters, from which you are pretty views. We could of course be very ambitious (and have a lot better condition and much fatter wallet) and decide on the entrance to the top Villarrici, where you can look in the crater, but it's probably not our party, especially with starting at 5 - o'clock in the morning. Moreover, I do not regret that because from what I've seen by a telephoto lens, the crowds are gathered there, and we we had the whole trail to yourself. A trail was very nice, ran up the partly through the forest, and partly after the lava solidified, in the distance you could see the remaining area mountains and volcanoes, and over us smoked Villarrica.

Today, as I mentioned, dalysmy yourself to play and we went only to the Ojos del Caburgua waterfalls, where he was spinning a lot of people, but we were a little przeszlysmy up and down, which in today's heat was enough for that, so as nice sweat.

Tomorrow we are already back to Argentina, admiring another volcano, Lanin, in the national park of the same name. We do not know just how it will be overnight, because we could not book anything this time on the Internet, but because we have a car, so probably something we can find, even if it was supposed to be farther from the center. So again in the way!

Ceramic Tile Notch Size

8 February 2011

It is so hot today my brain is melting. And yet I must / should write something down for our English speaking friends. It is only about 2 weeks of our South American journey left... Time just flew from the last time I did some work on this blog.

Last time I made a note here I promised some comments on the Cueva the Las Manos (the Cave of the Hands) tour we had booked from Perito Moreno. Honestly I did not expect it to be very exciting. And yet it was just amazing. A big, deep, beautiful canyon, where the Cueva (the Cave) is hidden would be enough to overwhelm us. We (about 8-10 people altogether) walked along one wall of the canyon until we reached the Cave. Cueva the Las Manos is famous for its imprints of human hands on the walls (check our pictures to know what I mean). The imprints were actually made outside the Cave, in many colours and look almost contemporary. Really, as if someone made a modern decoration or a happenning. And yet the oldest are ca. 9 thousand and the youngest ca. 1 thousand years old. I do not know of many civilizations which would maintain a custom in over eight thousand years! There are other drawings as well, mostly of guanacos. And finally there is one hand which has 6 fingers. We walked and admired and then our guides took us down to the canyon bottom where we crossed a river (barefoot) and climbed a sand dune made of volcanic ashes. Then we had to climb the other wall of the canyon to get to our minivan. It was quite dark once we got there and I was a bit scared we would get stuck on the narrow path with no light but we made it.

The next day we took a buss to Bariloche. It is a long trip in itself, about 13 hours and in about a middle our buss broke down. We had to wait some 4 or 5 hours for replacement busses. But our pilot organized it all perfectly, called our accommodation to let them know we were delayed and eventually brought us just in front of our hostel so we cannot complain.

Bariloche is yet another tourist location, crowded with visitors and with... chocolate cafes and factories. The very first day we went to the most reknown (and most expensive) place called Mamushka, apparently with Russia theme and yes, serving very good chocolates. Other than that, the most important thing we did was finding a car rental agency (we checked a dozen) and booking a car for 2 weeks as well as booking a return buss ticket from Bariloche to Buenos Aires.

But as soon as we were done, the very next day we took a tour to Nahuel Huapi National Park and did a several hours hike to the Black Glacier. The Black Glacier is indeed black, but only in its lower part. At the upper part, as it comes down from Tronodor Mountain, it is still blueish-white. But as it rolls down it carries rock sand with it, thus getting the black colour. The result is really nice, especially as the icebergs floating on the below lake are of mixed colour, some black, some white.

The next day we picked our rented car and finally can enjoy the freedom it gives us. After all, a buss does not always stop as we would want it, and with the car we are so flexible, choosing a road as we wish. First we went to Villa La Angostura, a small town in the argentinian Lake District. The road there was really beautiful, going along the lakes and among green hills. The weather luck however left us there and we had to cancel our plans to visit a small national park near Villa but at least we could catch a breath before driving on.

The following day we crossed the border to Chile and soon after stopped in the by-the-road restaurant serving true chilean meals accompanied by true chilean guitar music. A not expensive and tasty lunch. By the way, my observation is that in Chile, by contrast to Argentina, they finally use veggies. No, I mean, the meals are much more diversified and apart from grilled meat and sweats they offer a whole variety of soups, sallads and so on. In shops (and outside, to be exact) we could finally get fresh raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, peaches... What a treat after rather poor argentinian diet.

We drove on to Ensenada (a tiny village) mostly to see nearby falls and, for the first time in Ands, volcanoes. From Ensenada one can watch a perfect snowy cone of Osorno volcano. It kept its perfect shape by having craters around the base, thus any lava flows come out there. There are two more volcanoes visible from that locations as well and from our hostel we could pretty much see all three.

The next day we drove to Pucon from which this post is being made. Pucon is very, very touristy place, but has several pluses for us. First, there is Villarrica, another perfectly shaped volcano, with snow at the top and white smoke coming out of its crater. Villarrica is the most active volcano in Chile, last erruption took place in 1984, so it feels a little menacing to be watching that white smoke. The next thing is Villarrica National Park, in itself not very attractive, but there is one hike that lead us to the top of a nearby mountain from which we had a fantastic view of the mountains, several other volcanes (including Lanin shared by Chile with Argentina) and of course close view of the Villarrica volcano and hardened lava path. You can't get much closer unless you climb that mountain, but for that you need to be really in shape (and lets face it we are not... yet).

Finally there is the Huerquehue National Park, much larger than Villarrica P.N. and offering several hikes, one of which we attempted. We would do better if not for the fact that Lonely Planet claimed that it only takes 4 hours round trip (7 km). Instead it was 4 hours one way so we had to give up at some point. But we did climb to some 1300 meters and reached a very lovely spot with 3 mountain lakes.

Today we took it easy and it turned out to be the best option. It is some 30+ degrees and it is almost impossible to breathe. We decided to go to see nearby falls, Ojos del Caburgua, and after that update our blog and picture sites. Tomorrow we leave Pucon and go back to Argentina, among other to visit Lanin (the volcano) National Park.

Has Anyone Had Keliod Surgury

February 3, 2011

Again, we had no time to update our entries, but because today raining terribly, so I finally choose and never have time for catching up.

First continuation of previous stories, and so alert, which was 27 / 1 during the long and quite tiring road to Los Antiguos.

January 27: El Chalten we left with more than 12-hour bus trip after the gravel roads in the most number of 40, famous in Argentina because leading down the Alps for the entire country from north to south. Liczylysmy in connection with this the beautiful views, but nothing that will not, because I now started to rain, clouds hang low, and the road had become muddy, so the windows our side are completely and totally splotchy mud nothing they can see. So we sit and shake our bit sore body.
But yesterday, finally managed to choose neither with me for a short trail in El Chalten and bravely climbed two mountains to admire the views, and so I managed to at least one day in August pozachwycac mountains and the beautiful surroundings. So far, El Chalten and mountains around it is our absolute number one in Argentina. The day before yesterday we found

also next to our hostel, cool cafes with waffles (well, so late), so for two consecutive days wynagradzalysmy the effort of migration (and calories), admiring the waffles with fruit, chocolate and ice cream. Yummy!

hours on the trail also survived an interesting adventure. When We walked by the lake, suddenly we heard the cheers and we saw each other two gauczow (ie, the local cowboys) on horseback at a gallop. My first thought was that it's probably some sort of attraction for tourists, but suddenly I saw that they Gonia young bull. In the full rush przemkneli near us, and the runaway bull in the head przywalil mesh fence, and a bit dazed sped away and gauczowie him. All last long enough that even I managed not to do pictures, but soon we decided that we must go to the other side of the fence, in case the bull turned. Then, already in advance, we saw that they managed to catch him, but kiedu passed by the way, bull suddenly stopped and thought, or move. I just stood there: two riders, bullhead, and cars, which blocked the passage. We do not know how it all ended, but it was the second such meeting during our trip. When
Nimez We went round the reserve and were watching the birds, the horses were grazing meadows. And suddenly, when we were walking path, we heard a clatter behind him, obrocilysmy August and two galloping horses (no riders) and the wild neighing of przemknely near us. We had a little funk, but on the other hand, it was a really wonderful scene, almost like the wild mustangs went by near us.

In general, animals behave quite freely here and doing what they want. Yesterday evening, two horses walked the main street of El Chalten and never could see their respective owners. A dog walking in a pretty loose on the streets also mentioned. Interestingly, many of these dogs have collars, so they have probably also the owners of what they do not mind lazic the whole city, and lie down wherever and whenever. Sometimes it looks funny, when I lie down at the entrance to the shops, or more than one dog leaves the device itself Sieste on the lawn at the center of the city. Moreover, it makes an impression as if the dogs belonged to everyone. I do not look at most of the zabiedzone, sometimes a little dirty, and no they are not at all aggressive towards humans. In fact, ignore them, apart from those they know. Only react to other dogs, ganiajac behind them, or obszczekujac, sometimes it happens also to chase them for a car or bike, or just go for some sort of person piece, but without any barking, and catching the leg. Very quickly you can get used to it, and man does not even quite afraid of big dogs.

Yesterday, while walking, also've seen condors (not the first time anyway), but they should act as befits the condors. Kolujac flew high, but one came close enough that whites could be seen on the dorsal side of its wings. And what more fun, now it was on his way to a vantage point called "Condor."

once you dotluczemy to Los Antiguos, is staying there one day and the next we are planning a trip to the Cueva de las Manos naskalnymi drawings. And then 30 / 1 go on to Bariloche the next 800 km, and it already will be the last stage of our trip focused on the area called the Lake District (ie land of lakes), although this is really a lake and mountains, which we hope to see both sides, ie, the Argentine and Chilean, and, above all by its own (or hired) four collectors.

This is the end of the first part, the rest try to be complemented with a little later, after lunch ...

OK, I'm already najedzona and zaslodzona (very good cake with strawberries) and rain falls away, so I can continue the story.

tired of shaking the trip at night luckily we got to Los Antiguos. Natsepnego day we went for a walk, mostly on the shores of Lake Buenos Aires, one of the largest in Am.Poludniowej, lying on the border of Argentina and Chile. The sun shone as usual, very windy, czaami wietrem cool, but that started to slowly get used in August. We also managed to finally buy some Vitamins in the form of cherry, because Los Antiguos famous for its orchards, and now it is just season cherries. These two kilos ate about 3 days until our stomachs hurt, but it was a nice change. Przetransportowalysmy August evening to Perito Moreno (the village, not a glacier), which we totally getcha down, it was ugly and unpleasant, and of even people earlier rather nice and friendly here in the most inaccessible sprawaiali impression, not to say outright nasty (especially in our "hotel" type of hotel workers). But somehow there wytrzymalysmy two nights in between day we went to schedule a trip to the cave with paintings, or Cueva de Las Manos. He goes in there quite a long time a very dusty road, making our lungs felt strong enough, but when we reached the place, then we really speechless, this time because of the views. We were on the edge of the beautiful canyon, which later went down depth-first. It turns out that the cave itself, is actually a shallow cave in the slope of the canyon, where the original peoples protected in winter against snow and wind. Same while there are paintings on the walls of the canyon. The oldest of them converted about 9000 years and the youngest was about a thousand, so I really arose for many generations. The most important and most recurring motif are the hands (hence the name Cave cancer), but there are drawings of the guanaco, and hunting with it, armadillos, as well as mythical beasts. To all the sun started to occur by changing the beautiful color of the canyon walls in a beautiful orange, no i was complete silence. Our trip went to the bottom of the canyon, where he had to cross the tiny stream wbrod, so to climb on the opposite edge of the canyon to the other side. Here came the only unpleasant part of the program, because I nadepnelam bare foot on the little bush Calafate protruding from the sand and the rate of wbily me two rings from the bush, which then jointly wydlubywalysmy at night with my feet, but everything just how it ended. Our tour we started quite late, so the final uphill approach had already been done almost in the dark, but still much we liked.

next day, and so 30 / 1 we moved further in the way by bus to Bariloche. We had 800 km before him and the planned arrival of about 21.00. The first section of the road was still gravel, but then began to asphalt, not raining, the window przewijaly a nice view, so despite the long road we dopisywaly humors. But when we were some five hours, the bus broke down and stood by the road away from any buildings of, and around us the wind just whistled. At first seemed that it is possible to fix this, but our driver quickly came to the conclusion that, unfortunately, will not go further. Fortunately, this section of the road were traveling with us extremely lady "pilot", which (also extremely) spoke English. Monika (because it seems that that was his name) caught a ride to the nearest city, and organized the We further transport minibuses. After 3.5 hour of waiting came two mini-buses, to whom we were packed and we went on. What's more, Monika obdzwonila place kotrych we had all the sleep and organized a ride for us at the same hostels / hotels, which greatly helped us, because we arrived after midnight.

Luckily our hostel in Bariloche it turned out very nice, comfortable and the staff speak English. In this connection, there also we ordered the bed on our return to Bariloche, already before the trip to Buenos Aires. The shelter also we met another Pole, Dominic, who had gone to Brazil, and now drive a Argentina. On the occasion of telling us how horror story turned out to ride by train in Argentina. Trains is There are very few, in principle, should be dismantled, but some rules say that the country needs to keep some lines. As a result, coaches are definitely from another era, the most comfortable place turned out to be really comfortable on average, and this track, according to Dominic, it was very uneven and bent at the joints, which was felt during the ride. So there is nothing to complain to the station. Well, we are delighted that we will not have decided to travel by train, and walked us to the idea on the head (ie me).

Bariloche is definitely a tourist town, which no one here does not hide. It has, like Zakopane, two seasons: summer and winter, so the lack of tourists can not complain. Unfortunately, it is still a trap for us, namely, is famous chocolate! Shops chocolate and czekoladziarnie are here literally on every corner, ie, on all four corners of the intersection and every few steps to the main street. We we went to one of the most commended (and expensive) czekoladziarni by almost rustic Mamushka name. Appearance and dress code clearly indicates the operating relationship with Russian roots, but the devices are really delicious.

decided to not give into temptation and flee quickly from Bariloche, in connection with this second day after arrival We spent the trip to the so-called. Black Glacier descending from the top Tronador. To get there again, we had to spend two hours in a minibus, it was quite cold for this, despite the beautiful sunshine. But when we got into the National Park, the road wila beautifully, in the bottom of the lake we could see a blue-green color. When you reach the parking lot, we decided to go to a vantage point on the Black Glacier, which meant a 7 km walk, unfortunately, not trail, but still a gravel road, but the way we had practice for myself, so I was not so bad. Glacier is obviously not the whole black, its upper part is the most white-blue. However, in the middle of it falls from the top ledge and glacier formed anew in August below and down mixes and involves rocks, so that its bottom part actually takes almost black color. But you have to admit, it looks really nicely, especially in combination with a reddish color scales around the blue-white glacier above and small and large waterfalls coming down from the top. I went further in trying to figure to one of the waterfalls, but I ran out some time to come to the foot of, because we've waited way back, a minibus leaving at 17 o'clock this. So I settled for photo with 2 / 3 of the way to the waterfall and tired, but happy we returned the same way.

And since yesterday, we "own" car! This gives us incredible freedom that we started to use the panoramic trail yesterday driving by near Bariloche, because we could finally stop at where we liked.

And today we are in Villa de Angostura, on his way to the border with Chile, which we intend to exceed tomorrow (papers look okay, so we hope there will be problems.) Today we had to go for the whole day to the surrounding national park, but it pours, that none of this would be a pleasure. We hope that the weather will improve tomorrow, I will be leaving Andy FOR IN to Chile and we are hoping for nice widoczki. So next post will probably already in Chile.

29 January 2011

Today at breakfast Agnes was nagging me to update the part of Angielski our blog. I admit: I do not have the ease of writing as she does and just keep delaying it. But a promise is as promise and here is an update of Those last days in Argentina. I left it off in the day were purchasing a flight ticket to El Calafate ...

19 Jan
We are finally leaving Ushuaia by taking a flight to El Calafate (delayed of course). El Calafate is a kind of tourist resort almost on the border of Los Glaciares National Park and has all a tourist might need: plenty of shops and restaurants and hostels. It also lies by Argentina Lake, the biggest lake in, well, Argentina. We had booked a double room in Che Lagarto hostel. Location: perfect, close to everything. Staff: super nice. Ambiance: ongoing party (could be a bit annoying to have the loud music playing and people chatting just outside your door, but I guess that´s part of its style). Room: very nice with an extra bonus - a TV! Kitchen: on the last floor, to be avoided at all cost, bearing obvious signs of the mentioned above ongoing party.

20 Jan
We went to Los Glaciares by mini bus to see the Park´s most famous glacier Perito Moreno. The glacier is accessed either by boat or by a series of walkways that come real close to its icy wall. The glacier is so popular not only for its magnificence and grandeur but also because it calfs often (parts of the ice wall fall off with a roaring sound). We saw some minor calving only. But the weather, at least in the beginning, was nice and sunny and so the views were fantastic.

21 Jan
A lazy day. We walked to the nearby Laguna Nimez Reserve. It is a small reserve just by the Lake Argentina and has a variaty of birds, but above all pink flamingoes. Just that is enough to take tens of photos, it is our first encounter with a flamingo.
Later we walked along the Lake and spotted more flamingoes and some black-neck swans (the latter from very afar unfortunately).
In the evening we went to check another local specialty: parilla. It is barbecue of sorts: several kind of meat incl. chicken, lamb, beaf, sausages are grilled on open fire and served. Waiter kept bringing the meat in combinations until we said enough. My favorite is lamb, Agnieszka´s - chicken of course.
In the evening our hostel had some live music evening and Agnieszka went to enjoy (not that you had to leave the room to listen really).

22 Jan
We took a catamaran cruise to 3 glaciers within the Park. The cruise was bumpy as the wind got quite strong and half the passangers got seasick. The weather was rainy, windy, cold. One of the glaciers, Upsala (yes, that´s the name, our Swedish friends!), was not accessible: the entrence was blocked by huge icebergs. But we could approach the two other glaciers and the sight from the boat was quite overwhelming.

23 Jan
We left for El Cahlten, a small and charming village much closer to the mountains. El Chalten became our number 1 in Argentina so far. It is a place where 75% of the people either go hiking or return from it. Mountain ranges with a characteristic Fits Roy peak tower over the town. The views are just wonderful.
We stayed at Rancho Grande hostel which is not only close to trails but also has a very nice restaurant when you come back from it.

24 Jan
Time to start hiking. The weather is just perfect: sunny and clear. Alas, my lower back is in terrible pain and although I make an effort at first, I soon have to return. We decide however, that there is no point in Agnieszka'a sitting with me in the room and wasting this lovely day, so she goes on a trail. I stay sitting upright and reading a book. She probably run half the way because she comes 2 hours earlier than I expected her, carring pictures and films from her walk. Beautiful!

25 Jan
Despite all the measures I took my back still refuses to cooperate. The day is even clearer than one before. We decide again that Agnieszka will hike in the mountains while I will take it very easy and walk at slow pace across town to see Fitz Roy as it is not visible from the hostel. I walk slowly and when I finally get to the other side and walk onto the Rio Fitz Roy (Fitz Roy River) bridge and turn around, the sight takes my breath away. In a perfectly blue sky all the peaks are clearly visible, rock and snow.
Agnieszka walks 22 km this day and she has beatiful views and weather all the way. We earned it so we go to a waffle place this evening and enjoy huge waffles with chocolate, fruit and ice cream. Mmmm...

26 Jan
I feel much better so we venture out on an easy and short trail to 2 viewpoints. As I make it to the first one, I feel like I made it to Mount Everest. This one is called Viewpoint of the Condors, and true to its name, just before the top, we see a condor hovering above.
This afternoon another prize at waffle place:-) This is our last evening in El Chalten.

27 Jan
The bus journey from El Chalten to Los Antiguos lasts 15 hours. We hoped for some views but the road is mostly muddy and after about an hour the windows are completly dirty.

28 Jan
In Los Antiguos we wanted above all to see another big lake, Lake Buenos Aires. We walk by the shoreline and then catch a bus to Perito Moreno. We plan to spend 2 nights in Perito before we have to face another long bus trip to Bariloche.
As we enter our so called "Hotel" Bellgrano, a fat guy looks at us annoyed and asks: "reserved?". Later, not bothering to smile or talk, he takes us to our room. Probably a worst room so far, we try not to look too close.
As we take an afternoon walk across to town, we realize That it is just plane ugly, everything Seems to fall apart, even the cross on a church tower is skewed. People mostly look angry or sad and hardly look us in the eye, a contrast to our previous experience and CONCLUSION That Generally Argentinians are very kind and friendly. But in
find a few places: a cafe for example, WHERE staff is a bit warmer and even smiles occassionally.

29 Jan
We have booked a tour this afternoon is the Cueva de las Manos. More on this next time. Anyway it will be good to leave the Perito Moreno tomorrow and head for nicer places.

Spiritual Message For Getting Well

January 24, 2011

In our daily followed by the longest interval, and because of crowded classes and lack of meaningful access to the Internet (from three days trying to load pictures, as if this process is not yet zakonczylysmy). The journey by plane to El Calafate was a success painlessly and most importantly fast.
Rozlokowalysmy themselves in our shelter Che Lagarto, which was a nice attention and quite a nice room (with TV), but it was also the place where the party never ends, to which you can get used to, especially as you have a private room with TV . For other defects in our hostel, but it was hard to adapt, and was present total shit in the kitchen. Because it was located at the top, so and so did not want us to go there too often to walk, and already frightened away completely with the view we thought what zastaniemy there. But luckily
El Calafate turned out to be yet greater than the tourist mecca of Ushuaia, and there really is main street is dotted with restaurants and cafes, so we had to choose from. One evening we went to in the end to a typical Argentine so-called pubs. parilla, or meat served with a huge barbecue. We chose a buffet and it looked like this, the waiter reported more servings of meat for us, first of lamb, then beef and chicken, and then another chorizo \u200b\u200b(spicy sausage or local), and then we went no longer full, but wanted to gdbysmy we could sit there and eat, and we would burst. How are they able to eat such a quantity of meat that I do not know this so late in the evening. But on the other hand, do not see here very obese people as in the U.S., so somehow it works. We tasted meat Get very, ie, chicken and chorizo \u200b\u200bto me, and neither mainly lamb.

Because we had already generally quite a telling off after "Krupówki, we went to the first day of a trip to Los Glaciares National Park (the park glaciers), and more precisely to the southern part of the mostly famous Perito Moreno glacier. It is named after a part of the traveler and explorer of this region, who at the age of 21 years set off by a wild boar on horseback in the direction of Patagonia and Chile And discovered, and described the surrounding area. Also contributed to the establishment of the first National Park in Argentina, already in these areas.
glacier itself, in turn, is famous for its ease of accessibility, you can reach here by bus almost to the glacier and admire it from a series of footbridges observation, which approach really near (one of them was closed because of damage to recently by a block of ice detached from the glacier). The second reason is the popularity of its activity. This is one of the only known glaciers in the world, which has not been declining in recent years, due to its location (forehead almost touching the trace of a glacier on the other side) and the rates of movement of the glacier (up to 2 m / day), they often formation of ice bridges and impressive calving glaciers of the ice blocks wielich tearing. Unfortunately, that day, the glacier was probably not in the mood, or was tired, because apart from a few smaller pieces, nothing he did not want to break away. But anyway we liked.

We spent the next day watching your bird on a nearby lake Argentina (Moreover, the largest in Argentina), in principle, on its shores and reserve Nimez. Most involve us flamingos, which from afar looks like pink on the water fights, and so We called them, too. In addition to comical flamingos (hard to find a less proportional bird, as shown by the most in-flight), one could see all sorts of ducks (we liked this best with a blue bow, it looked as if dipped in a bucket of paint), the local geese and ibises.

zostawilysmy On the last day the catamaran day excursion to the glaciers, including glacier sounding familiar ... Upsala. The office advertises will this party as a preview three glaciers, which is not the end in accordance with the truth, because it turns out that the entrance to the branch of the lake leading to the Upsala glacier has long been blocked by the mass of ice, but this did not we already mentioned. Early in the morning about 7:00 when we left El Calafate beautiful sun shining, but already on the way to the port was felt famous Patagonian wind. How did then was to prove it was not without significance for our trip, because the lake in Argentina turned into a stormy sea, on which floated dotatkowo icebergs from the calving glaciers. Maybe it would be cool and had not rained the whole time, because by that views were not as impressive. And of course a big part of the passengers suffered from seasickness (luckily not us), which under these conditions was inevitable. But for now we still have great weather, so there is nothing to complain.
occasion we met a couple of Polish, which travels to South America from December, and started in Bogota, now moving to the south, in order to return to Bogota in May and finish their trip. They call it an adventure!

We, in turn, since yesterday we are in El Chalten, a tiny village in the northern part of Los Glaciares Park, where fortunately no longer have to pay for admission to the park, and it is a fairly expensive event, because for every "input" pay 100 pesos, or 75 zl! It's more expensive than in many national parks in the United States, and there the ticket is valid most often weekly, and not one day, with our not to mention the Tatras, because they seem funny at the same cost.

In the vicinity of El Chalten is a lot of trails for walking, and, above all the beautiful mountains. So far the weather was nice. Today was beautiful and the sun and even in the mountains was good visibility of what's here is rare, due to strong wind, which blows here, and almost always brings clouds and rain over the Andes. But the clouds kiedu August widens the views are breathtaking, like today, and even I managed to see almost the entire massif of Fitz Roy, who is the most chrakterystyczney for El Chalten and is here on every postcard. Regrettably, I only admire the views, because Ana today had got a very severe back pain (the roots) and barely moves. But it told me to go on the trail and do a lot of pictures, so yes I did.
I hope that tomorrow will Anne be able to move far more efficiently and we will go together in some way. We'll see!

PS. supplement 25 / 1: Unfortunately, neither back had not improved enough that she could go to a top, and the weather was beautiful again, so I go again in August alone have produced on the trails, and admire what it was. Tomorrow we hope to walk together to the waterfall, where he is going after nearly flat in August, because then hopefully back Neither ones will give advice, and even my legs need a little rest after yesterday's 14 km and 22 km lazenia today. You may find that tomorrow I will move me from Amy worse, but then at least we were assured that this transitional stage.

Afoil Boats Holding Pennies

January 18, 2011 Today

short update our blog. Still, we are Ushuaii, because still goes on strike. Our decision to resign from the National Park Torres del Paine in Chile, was absolutely right, because today we met the Poles, who just got stuck there, then encamped in the camp of the Red Cross in Puerto Natales, and spent the last 24 hours trying to get out, first for the smuggled money to the border, and then combined the road on foot and by bus arrived here. It turns out that sometimes blocked the ferry passed a single ferry, but it is totally unpredictable.

decided to do so again an overview of last minute deals to Antarctica, the next day, unfortunately, nothing like that is beyond the 19-day trip, which for us is a little too long. It is a vessel that will sail today, but we are today We did not know what's next, so we have too little time to get him take it. We stayed stocks plane to Puerto Natales. Initially we tried to buy tickets for it already yesterday, turned out to be very complicated. First, on the Argentinian airline reservations we did, hoping that you will be able to pay for it once the card, but none of that. With this book you must go to the airline office or travel to another office, which deals in such things, and there just to get a ticket and pay for it. In addition, it turned out that prices for foreigners are two times higher than for residents of Argentina, which we completely freaked. But we tried to do a first approach to buy a ticket yesterday in the office of the airlines, but cignela August kilometer long queue there. So I tried again to buy a ticket on the Internet, this time by another page, where one could pay the tab. Everything looked beautiful, we got a confirmation and also an accessible price, but in the evening I received an email that unfortunately may carry out this transaction, because foreigners are valid for different prices and I have to apply directly to the airline. Damn man can find directions, especially as I could my system immediately kick from the payment Keidy gave your card and passport number, but of course it did not. On the occasion of a curiosity: in Argentina, with every card transaction you have to hold a document of identity, they have proofs similar to our old ksiazeczkowych, so when they are being used so often are much more worn out than we ever were.

Bearing this original reservation on the plane in hand, we moved again today to buy a ticket. First, the travel agency because liczylysmy the lower queue. Unfortunately, in the office could not travel to get to the airline system, because it is so overloaded and so many volunteers. So we remained waiting in the office of the airline. Finally after about 3 hours there, we received koczowania our tickets, even managed to pay the tab, although the agency has no card reader, but all card transactions are carried out by the telephone system and called for help. Irons, a small card imprinting Prague and so totally antediluvian conditions. But I managed to beat it and tomorrow.
A wiec nastepne wiadomosci juz z El Calafate, miejmy nadzieje.

18 Janaury 2011

A short update on our situation here. We are still in Ushuaia. We decided today to check if there were any last minute offers for Antarctica because lot of people we met here seems to go there, among them Ruth, a very nice woman from Switzerland we met on the buss from Rio Gallegos. Alas, no offers at the moment so Antarctica has to wait. In the meantime we met a couple of Polish toursists who just got here from Torres del Paine. They told us how they had been practicly smuggled across the border and confirmed that situation in Puerto Natales and Torres was very bad. As of now the Park is entirely closed. My personal view is that regardless of the strike reasons this is going too far. It is no longer just a way to make yourself visible. These people do not let pass even the sick, mother with childen and the trapped tourists who have nothing to do with their country. This is going over the edge.

Knowing that we are not going to Antarctica this time we went to buy flight tickets from Ushuaia to El Calafate, further north in Argentina. We had booked them the day before but it turned out we needed to go to the airlines office to pay and receive paper tickets. There we saw, same as the day before, a huge crowd of customers and picked a number 66 (the desks were serving number 18). We sat down and waited nearly 2.5 hours for our turn, frustrated and annoyed that serving one customer takes such long time. When it came to paying the Mystery solved you. This rather large state airline does not have any credit card reader. To make a payment the staff need to call a number, press Several options and credit card number and finally They get a transaction code. They then use a press to get the image of the credit card, fill it in and finally it is done.

Anyway, tomorrow in the fly out of here and get back to sightseeing hopefully.

after a long journey in the end we got to Ushuaii, but now we have a problem, lest it go. But after the turn.

Our subsequent episodes were conducted also with the travel adventures. First, at the exit from Caleta Olivia some kid threw a stone at the bus and knocked one of the side windows, So we had to go back to the station, where we substituted for another bus.

but the most points we had in the transit from Rio Gallegos to Ushuaii. First was waiting us cross the border with Chile, for, to get to Ushuaii, you need to go from Argentina to Chile, przeprawic the ferry to Tierra del Fuego, which is actually an island, and then enter back into Argentina. Checks at the border took us about 1.5 h. First collected our passports after the Argentine side, but we were able to celebrate in groups, but we had to unload our luggage and each individually approached with his bag, which then X-rayed as at the airport. In the end, we packed the bus and we went a few kilometers to visit Chile. Here again Step off the bus, luckily with only hand luggage, then queue to stop the stamp in your passport, then the next x-ray machine, where this time X-rayed hand luggage.

In the end, full of optimism, we set off on his journey and soon found ourselves on the shore of the strait of Magellan, through which we had to cross by ferry. Ferry Steel on the shore, so our driver positioned himself to enter counting on quick loading, but none of that.

turned out that the Chilean part of Tierra del Fuego started to previous day's massive protests against the increase by about 20% of gas prices, which in this part of Chile is used to heat homes m.in what is needed most of the year. The protest blocked crossings ferry to the island and, later, as it would later prove, the main exit of the larger cities, as well as the way to the airport. Of course I need not add, that none of this information does not uzyskalysmy from operating a bus, who did not speak English, but from fellow travelers. For a few hours so we stood at the edge of not knowing when or if at all we passed. The long wait is approaching people, passengers and the driver entertained children are traveling with us and generally felt that we had been one big family, with the rest of August dogadywalysmy the family mostly in sign language and occasionally in English (except for other English-speaking tourists troika).

After about six hours of waiting we were loaded on the ferry, crossed to the other side, and here waiting for the manifestation of our banners to advanced, locking the exit of the ferry. Our captain tried to negotiate with them, but not much is it passed. So we stood on the ferry, and they're on the road, and so waited the 40 minutes, and finally, to our great joy, passed us and we went on, changing the way the bus (due to our siedmogodzinnego delays). For Ushuaii we arrived about 2 o'clock. Luckily we had booked accommodation, so there was no problem and immediately went to sleep. It turns out that we were lucky, because when we arrived here a single bus. Since about 3 days he already takes you to Ushuaii not, nor leaving, when it comes to railroad and road. From what we know, the situation has not improved, just the opposite. We leave today, we had to Punta Arenas, which is in Chile, and from there to go to Puerto Natales, from Tuesday to find yourself in the National Park Torres del Paine, where we have already paid for accommodation. It turns out, however, completely cut off from the protesters both Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales and the world, and the National Park is located about 1.5 thousand people, who do not have to get out, because the road is completely blocked. The situation had become so serious that even the Red Cross was in a switched on and trying to evacuate people from the National Park Torres del Paine and Puerto Natales. In this situation, we are forced to change our plans, firstly the lack of opportunities for travel by bus from Ushuaii, but above all do not want to push, where the problems are. Unfortunately, it probably means the strategy of money for accommodation, but it's better than pushing into the midst of riots.

Because at the moment no one knows when and how to get out of stocks, rozwazalysmy different options, including buying a 10-day trip to Antarctica last minute as we had done known Ruth from Switzerland, which starts tomorrow at the latter's conquest of the continent. We envy her, but for now zrezygnowalysmy this option despite the incentives on the part of us today who is encountered by the Polish crew member of one of the utensils. You have to admit, this is not a cheap event, but it's last minute deals are sometimes cheaper by several thousand dollars, so it is still a tempting proposition.

But Ushuaia is really nice place to be stuck here for a while. There are really beautiful. The city lies on the Beagle Channel and on all sides surrounded by mountains, on which lies the snow. A bit like Zakopiec, just more water. Building itself can not beautiful, but she brings nice walks, and finally you can eat something normal and it's a bit more decent time. Unfortunately, we found a nice cafe here, where he was mainly serves chocolate in different forms, and we zasmakowalysmy in pancakes with chocolate, which we did not go for good.

But like most about our neighborhood in August. We spent one day on the journey to Tierra del Fuego National Park, or Tierra del Fuego, who wowed us views of the mountains and water, especially, the weather was exceptionally Solar like this around. I find it very associated with Alaska, but Anne forbids me so to speak, she says, that every one has to remember the place apart. Sure is right, but I was up and so will associate with Alaska. Although the trail was not difficult, after a few hours lazenia up and down we went tired enough. Especially with our shelter in Ushuaii, to whom I later had to go, lies perched on a steep hot and you have to climb to it, but what we can burn calories portion of pancakes with chocolate. We hope to do one more trip to the National Park tomorrow or the day after, because he probably did not leave our hotel this time, at most fly by plane on Wednesday, if that time does not move buses.

Yesterday Again the weather was adding what we are very uprzyjemnilo catamaran trip Beagle Channel. Wykupilysmy a day excursion, which you ran a trail next to the various islands are inhabited by cormorants, sea lions and penguins are our favorite. This time, besides the Magellanic penguins, penguins podgladalysmy papua, which have long red beaks funny. It was not as exciting as previous our contacts with these creatures, especially not this time we went down to the shore, well, and the whole gave the impression of "mass production", where two large catamarans and a smaller boat swam very close to shore at the same time, but liczylysmy with that from the beginning.

then sailed on to Estancii Harberton, which is the first and oldest farm in Tierra del Fuego. Currently, she serves as a museum, but until recently was a functioning farm with sheep. Founder of the farm was Thomas Bridges, who was a missionary and as a first language he met peoples originally inhabiting the area, even wrote the first and probably only one so rich dictionary of that language. He is of course facilitated contacts with tybulcami and thanks not been killed by them, as the former missionaries.

Ushuaii we visited the tiny museum dedicated to the tribes originally living in Tierra del Fuego. Inhabited around four ethnic groups, of which we are most interested in the people of Yamana. Despite difficult weather conditions, they went almost naked, as it considers that naked skin coated with oil is easier to dry and warm in this climate, than dressed in animal skins wet. They do not build permanent settlements, but is constantly moved around with their belongings by boat, which constituted the most important asset. As these boats have always had a burning fire, which protect against moisture and wind, just kept the outbreak in the camps. Hence the name of Tierra del Fuego, because when I first saw the Magellan for the first time in these lands, they saw small flames from the boat and the natives camps. Unfortunately there is no longer a single person unless purebred Yamana, and also lost their language, although we are not completely certain of this. It was, moreover, an interesting society where women had the same rights as men, there were counselors, and the whole food was divided equally, regardless on who won the food.

last point of the trip was a visit to a farm in a small museum, with collections of skeletons of the surrounding fauna, and in the way of birds and marine creatures. These skeletons come from dead animals found on local beaches by the employees of the museum. Even though we enjoyed it, but we had very little time, because I was waiting for our bus that would take us back to Ushuaia. The return route was full of beautiful views, though some of us zmoglo excess impressions, so the 1.5 hours allowed us to drive even a short nap.

Today we were able to extend our stay in Los Cormoranes nice hostel, and besides, it is raining and cold, so I concentrate on the verification of messages from Chile, rip pictures, and of course blogging.
see how long some fun here and in what way we manage to pull stocks further, but more on that in the next episode.

16 January 2011

Finally in Ushuaia. We have come to the End of the World, but now It Seems we are stuck here for longer.

Firstly the buss from Caleta Olivia was delayed of course, no surprise to us anymore. As soon as the set off some kid threw a stone at our buss and broke the window just above us. We had to go back Those few kilometers and change the busses. I was kind of happy with the previous That Because they already stank after driving from Buenos Aires. Finally drove Towards the Rio Gallegos.

From Rio Gallegos, where we spent a night, in took a buss to Tierra del Fuego (Fire Land). In order to get there one has to leave Argentina, enter Chile, cross Magellan Strait by ferry (Tierra del Fuego is really an island with only two ferry crossings available), leave Chile and enter Argentina again. Very time consuming in itself with all the luggage scanning, stamps and paperwork. When we reached Maggellan Strait the ferry was already there so we thought it is going to be a quick trip. Nothing of the sort. We waited and waited and waited... After some hours, thanks to some English speaking co-passanger we learned that there was a strike in Chile and the road off the ferry was blocked. When I almost lost hope they packed us all into the buss and on the ferry. The crossing took 20 minutes but on the other side, sure eanough, there were strikers blocking the road, chanting, singing etc. It took another hour of heated discussions of the ferry captain with their leader to convince them to let us in. On the other side there was a long line of cars and busses waiting for their lucky chance to leave.

We arrived in Ushuaia with 7 hours delay, around 2 am, but fortunately we had booked accommodation in a friendly place called Los Cormoranes.

We might have been one of the last busses allowed in the Tierra del Fuego. The strike in Chile continues and it is not a small thing. People opose reduction of subsidiaries for natural gas (in other words price increases) and the protests have especially escalated here in the South where gas is used for house heating almost all year round. I thought the strike would end after a couple of days but no such thing. It has been a week now and it is getting worse with not just the crossings blocked (so the only way to get in or out of Ushuaia is by air now) but multiple roads blocked in Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales in Chile as well as access roads to Torress del Paine National Park which had been our next destination.

Anyway the first day we still had no worries, walked Ushuaia and planned our next tours. Ushuaia lies by the Beagle Channel surrounded by snowy peaks of Andes meeting the sea here. It is a beautiful sight, provided the clouds allow to see it. It is a bit cold (but it is just 2.5 day by ship to Antarctica) and the weather can obviously change several times during a day. We booked one trip and visited a small museum of the history of the Yamana people. Yamana were one the 4 tribes inhabiting these land and the peculiar thing was that they did not wear any clothes (except a loin cloth). Think about the temperatures here! Their reasoning was that animal fur and skin soaked with rain would remain cold a long time and it is easier to be dry and warm if they kept naked and rubbed their skin with fat. They obviously always kept a fire on, even on a boat (they were nomads, did not settle for long in one place) and when Magellan saw all those fires in the dark of a night he called this place Tierra del Fuego, Fire Land.

On Friday we went to Tierra del Fuego National Park and hiked the whole day. The weather was wonderful, the views of mountains and lake stunning and the day was just perfect. The next day we boarded a catamaran on a tour which cruised the Beagle Channel. We had even more lovely views, mountains and sea gittering in the sun. We stopped at yet another Penguin Island but watching the birds with tens of people from the boat (and there were two other boats close by at the same time) was hardly as good as our previous meetings with penguins. Finally we cruised to another attraction: Estancia Harberton. This had been the first farm set in the Fire Land by Thomas Bridges, a missionary who learned the natives language and wrote the one and only English-Yamana dictionary. The generations of Bridges still live on and own the farm. There is even a small aquatic museum there.
We were driven by buss back to Ushuaia.

When we returned late afternoon, we went to enquire about our buss that was supposed to take us on Sunday (next day) to Punta Arenas. Not surprisingly, the buss was cancelled as no car could get past the road blocks. All the information we were reading on tourist forums (almost nothing in the news) stated that the situation in Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales is no good. People could not get out, shops were closed, tourists stayed in schools run by Red Cross which tried to evacuate as many as possible. Torres del Paine National Park where we had been heading was blocked, ca. 1.500 tourists trapped inside with no possibility to leave. We took these people advice and decided to skip Torres and cancel our already paid accommodation there. For The moment in the extended stay in Los Cromoranes and keep watching how the situation develops.

back to this last sentence with the previous post. Our next adventure with the bus was much less successful. We had to leave at 8.30 Trelew. At the station we were told that our bus is delayed and will arrive around 10.30, but earlier, who also goes to Comodoro Rivadavia and will be around 9.30. Hour later, no problem, we'll wait.

Ok. 10.00 as there is no bus, so no. Another question and answer in the window, the bus will be about 10 min. As it turned out, that we had yet to hear the answer many times. Eventually a bus arrived around 11.00 (the one who was to be about 9.30). Checked our tickets, it turned out that we can take you, packed our luggage, we boarded the inside, and here ... no seats! They made us get off, gave our luggage and said, lest wait for the next bus, which will be around .. 10 min. Then it was already known from our original bus is delayed by 8 hours, but guided by intuition we did not want to risk waiting for the end niego.W 12.00 near the bus arrived, who had a place for us and finally we moved in a way. Of course they asked us whether we really want to go, because we had bought a place in the higher class, which you did not have this bus, but because we had only go 6 hours, we did not care that we just spoke.

In this way learned August following local custom, especially in defining the relativity of time, ie, with 10 minutes may mean the 4 hours.

Other local customs, to which we can not get used, the decomposition of the day. Banks normally operates in the mornings and wczsnopopoludniowych, which makes it difficult to exchange money for us, because we are busy then often something else. Queues at banks after the payment are like us in the old days, and also stand for the ATM queue, because often only one of them is money. We've managed to withdraw money for a third approach. In the middle of the day is usually a siesta, which means that most shops and restaurants are closed, shops to 17.00, and bars opening up until after 20.00. Occasionally runs into a single otawarte grocery stores, so do not die of thirst, and often no small pastry shops are open, or kiosks, where you can buy cold sandwiches, pizza and various bits of sweet cakes. Thanks to this well are not dying of hunger, but it is our diet had become very poor and consists mainly of so-called. medialunas, a sweet croissants, which serves breakfast here. and we also often eat them for lunch with no choice. Dinner is eaten, there were approximately 21.00-22.00, which for us is far too late.

Well, enough whining. We spent the last two days in a small, friendly Puerto Deseado miejscowowsci lying over the ocean, where there is a nature reserve, established at the mouth of the river, where de facto the ocean enters the riverbed is about 50 km. With him appear sea creatures such as dolphins, sea lions, various birds, and of course, penguins. We chose a trip a little further from the mainland, the island of penguins, which live both magellanskie penguins, who were watching at Punta Tombo, eggs and penguins rock. On the way to another island zahaczylismy, where there is a colony of sea lions, in which males lounging with his haremami on the scales. On the island of penguins podgladalysmy other sea lion colonies composed exclusively of males, most of them elderly or takiech which is not yet established a family.

But the most fun constituted penguins. This was quite different than the survival of Punta Tombo. We went there among the crowds wild, there was us in total 18 people, and we had the whole island to yourself. Magellanic penguins we passed among the other side of the island where penguins nest hilarious rock. Lazilismy there beside them taking pictures with a very close and would sit in the midst of them. Although the island is not great, our walk lasted several hours, and in conclusion we had a picnic by the sea, of course, in the company of penguins. Here more than anywhere else felt that we were only guests in this beautiful place totally taken over by animals, that have taken over even the remnants of old buildings. We had beautiful weather at the same time, like a crawfish spalilysmy despite the sunblock, and a little way back, we porzucalo on a stormy sea, but it was worth.

And now you're just in the wild heat of the bus without air conditioning (because it broke down) to Caleta Olivia, and in the evening we get on the bus to Rio Gallegos, where to go longer the next day directly to Ushuaia.

PS. One more thing, which is hard to get used to, is, to throw waste paper basket next to the toilet to toilet, and then after it, lest August clogging the pipes. It's hard for us to come, but we try to apply to those recommendations.

10 January 2011

Forget the praise in the Gave in the last post is the public bus transportation. A few days later in a hard lesson Learned. We were to take a bus from Trelew at 8.30. At a bus station in the discovered That our bus was delayed and would arrive at 10.30, however there is another one at 9.30 That the board could. 1 hour waiting seemed ok. At 10.00 the bus was nowhere to be seen and when Agnieszka asked at the ticket box she was told the bus would be here in ca. 10 min. Later we heard such answer many times and by now we know it means at least (!) half an hour. At 11.00 the bus that was supposed to be there 1.5 hour earlier finally arrived, we were allowed to board... only to find out there were no seats left. We were told to wait for the next bus which would come in no more than... 10 min. Around 12.00 that bus finally arrived and we got the seats. It was hot and dirty inside but we did not care really. As long as we made it to our destination the same day...

That´s just one of many lessons in local customs we have gotten so far. We have learned (with difficulty) not to throw the toilet paper into a toilet but in the trash bin next to it. We have also learned that the during siesta (from 13.00 to 17.00) most shops are closed as are restaurants (the latter open around 20.00 and the first guests arrive at 21.00). This is a bit too late for us so we mostly have to relay on bakeries which sell some wet sandwiches, white bread and of course huge variety of cookies. My main course at breakfast, lunch and dinner are medialunas i.e. sweet croissants.

But enough wining. We have just spent 2 days in Puerto Deseado, a charming, small harbour town. Here the ocean waters are pushed into the riverbed by 50 km bringing in lots of wildlife such as dolphins, sea lions, albatros, petrel and of course penquins. We bought a trip to Penguin Island lying a bit further in the ocean and it was an amazing experience. Penguin Island is a rocky island inhabited mostly by Magellan penguins (we know this species already from Punta Tombo), but also rockhopper penguins, sea lions, oyster catchers (a very funny small black bird with a long red beak) and albatros. For several hours we walked between the penguins, carefull not to step in any nests or destroy eggs. We had the whole island to ourseleves! When we reached rockhopper colony, we stopped for a long while just enjoying their company. These penguins do not mind humans and let us come real close. We took this chance and filmed them, took pictures or just sat close by, no more than 0.5 meter away, and admired them. On our way back we stopped at sea lions males only colony (mostly elderly or very young ones) and watched them fight, rest or dive into the water. Finally we had a picnic by the sea, accompanied by the penquins of course, which seemed to get used to our presence. We got sunburned and shaken up on the boat on the way back but all in all this was an absolutely unforgetable day.

And as Agnieszka is writing this post, we are on our way to Caleta Oliwia in a 30-degree heat, on a bus with not air-conditioning (it´s broken). From Caleta we take a night bus to Rio Gallegos and after an overnight stop we continue by bus to Ushuaia in the Fire Land.
