    After a long pause we have decided to revive the blog for our holiday to the States. For Marco it’s not only holiday, as he will be attending a conference as well. Therefore, to put it in the words of the Dutch customs police, “she’ll be spending the money you’ll be earning there” 🙂 We’ll…

    After one and a half months of trepidation and suspense… here is the photo gallery! We have worked quite a bit on those: We had about 1300 photos shot in RAW with the brand new Nikon D600. After careful selection, we were still at 214 photos! Every one of them was slightly post processed (exposure,…

    This is probably going to be the last post from our travel (unless we get bored in the airport). The last days were quite full, we travelled a lot and visited many new places on our way back to Puerto Montt. Pucon was our first stop. It used to be called “backpackers paradise” but we…

    We’ve been visiting Chiloe for the last three days and we find it fantastic. It is the second biggest island of Chile after Tierra del Fuego, very green and incredibly different from anything we’ve seen in Chile so far. We arrived in Puerto Montt on the 14th, took a rental car and drove to Ancud,…

    The last two days in Punta Arenas were a good way to recharge our batteries and walk around without haste. We stayed in a nice B&B owned by a US-Chilean couple. We walked around in the city and visited a museum which finally cleared up our doubts about the indigenous populations of Patagonia and Tierra…

    Just a short post, we are at the Lago Grey in the National Park of Torres del Paine, and we’re about to take a boat tour to the glacier. The sceneries are amazing, the weather is good but very windy, and our legs are hurting from the 8 hours hike of yesterday. More from us…

    On the 5th January we took our rental car and drove as far south as we could. We got as far as 100 km south of Punta Arenas, just after Punta San Juan. Unusually good weather allowed us to enjoy beautiful sceneries (photos when we’re back). In the afternoon we went to the Zona Franca…

    Hi there! Just a small post from Santiago before we leave for Patagonia. On the 2nd January we had a long walk to the lake of Los Molinos. It was hot but totally worth it. The colours are stunning, and the smartphone photos we’re putting in this blog just don’t make justice of the place.…

    Happy new year! On the 31st we took our flight to Córdoba. It was turbulent. So turbulent that Teresa is thinking about continuing the trip by car… From the airport of Córdoba we drove around 100 km southwest to Los Reartes to visit our friend and best man Alessandro and his family. In the evening…
