Well annoyingly this is take 2 of this part, as we lost the 1st blog with a computer crash!
Arriving at the end of the world its not an easy task... We left Punta Arenas with high spirits & went via Cerro Sombero. With a great lift from there to the border it was going well until we hit a snag. The chilean argentina border. We thought it would be easy to hitch across the border but as we started to walk between no mans land, I realised "would i pick up a hitch hiker between borders of a country where you could be carrying drugs etc!"
By this time we had to walk 15 km to get to the other side in strong winds with our heavy bags and pulling one on a wheelie trolley, not funny when a gravel road and they even drove past fast so that a rock flew against my head (James), not impressed!
Still we managed to nearly reach the the border & got a lift a nice spanish person
