So we've been home for more than a month now, and things have settled into a bit of a routine, though of course, both of us are doing shift work and that does make it hard sometimes. The house is a mess, and we've still got 4 boxes sitting in the lounge room to unpack! But it's all good. We'll get there in the next 10 years or so.
Anyway, we have been keeping our photos up to date(ish) on Facebook, which you can see on the right.
Um, so let's see, from our last post, which was in Pucon, we did lots of stuff. This included:
- Climbing Cerro Tronador in Argentina. Brilliant mountaineering trip!
- Meeting up with Em and Leece again, and Mike and Tes. We hung out in Bariloche for a bit and did some riding and exploring.
- Headed down Route 40, for 24 hours of bus ride over 2 days. Epic boredom.
- Hiked the Fitzroy Circuit.
- Hiked the Torres del Paine Circuit (absolutely f$%*'n brilliant), and said goodbye to Em, Leece, Mike and Tes.
- Hiked the Circuito Dientes Navarino, in Chile, the world's southern-most trek. So spectacular it was ridiculous.
- Spent Christmas in Puerto Williams, Chile, the world's most southern town.
- Spent New-Year in Ushuaia, Argentina, the world's most southern city.
- Flew to Buenos Aires and spent a few days hanging there and seeing the sights. We stayed with Julia Worley in her flat (thanks Julia!) whom we'd met in Croatia, and ate the most expensive meal I'd ever eaten with Lee and Sonia.
- Flew to Los Angeles, USA, and met up with Steve from our mountaineering course. He took us around to see the sights, which was a lovely way to spend our 12-hour stopover.
- Flew home! The 6 hour wait in Sydney airport was tedium at its worst.
As for now, I'd better get back to bed. Coming-off-nightshift-insomnia is killing me.
