We're yet to do a blog post for our journey from Ushuaia up to El Calafate, Argentina. Christmas has come around so quick that we simply ran out of time, but watch this space, we will get round to it soon. For now though...
Feliz Navidad
Merry Christmas
We are spending Christmas in Patagonia and have arrived in Punta Arenas, Chile, on Christmas Eve. We'll be commencing a photographic expedition of the Torres del Paine National Park on Christmas Day.
During our journey to Punta Arenas (from El Calafate) we found Santa sitting in a cafe in Puerto Natales so we decided to join him while we waited for a connecting bus. He must've finished his Australian run fairly early - at around 3.00pm our time (it would have been 5.00am on the east coast of Australia). A nice little break before he had to get going again to the rest of the world.
We have no idea what gourmet treats will be our feast of the day buts it's likely that it will include empanadas and meat of beef (veca) or lamb (cordero). And we must mention "dulce de leche" a sweet and creamy caramal spread that is served up at breakfast, lunch & dinner in Argentina & Chile - a very sweet spread that can also be used as a dessert sauce or ice-cream topping too - very versatile for any sweet tooth.
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing - have a fabulous time enjoying all the festive cheer.
