Some internet place, Puerto Montt

Bought the ferry ticket (480 USD pp, in a 4-person cabin, incl. all meals) to Puerto Natales this morning. Takes 4 days/3 nights to get there. The ferry passes through fjords so the views should be magnificent. Around Puerto Natales will try to do some hiking (Torres del Paine, Los Glaciares) to see more magnificent landscapes, then go to Ushuaia to visit the southernmost town in the world (at least according to the Argentinians). (Note that Puerto Montt is situated already more south than we have been before during this trip, the Cape of Good Hope was the previous record holder.)

Puerto Montt is much different from other South American towns that we have visited. It's late summer here, smells of hay, houses are made of wood, some streets almost resemble Tartu. And there is nothing to do here except for surfing in the internet. Will go to buy some wine now as it might get boring on the ferry after the first impressions of the passing fjords have worn off.
