Excursion Number 2. Lakes and Dogs

Booked an impromptu 4WD tour to get us out of the hotel. Went up through the mountains across the Garibaldi Pass to a couple of lakes in south central Terra del Fuego. Pan American Highway across the pass then 4WD out to the lakes. First part, easy peasy, second part, serious ruts, water crossings etc. Not fooling around. Went for a paddle in a rubber raft on one of the lakes, coffee and cake on the bank of the other one. Then back to have a late lunch of Argentina style barbecue (we now don't need any dinner), some Argentinean wine and dessert at a little lodge that just happens to be next to a Husky (dog) refuge. There was a whoosh as Angela went to say hello to the 85 muttlies in residence. Because they are working Huskies brought back from Antarctica you can't approach them. If they come up to you, then that's OK. Several pats and ear scratches were had. Angela was happy.
Crunch time tomorrow. Drop our bags off at 10:30, find something to do until 4:00pm then board our little ship to start across the Drake Passage. I hope the weather is kind to us.Read more
