The return of the King

Well now its all over! I have reached the goal of Ushuaia, and now its all about the journey home. In Ushuaia the most random thing happened. I ran into Stephen Bray, I thought I was the only 27 year old Irish guy from South County Dublin riding around here on a BMW ... But i guess not. He started in Buenos Aires and is on his way up north now. Yesterday we left Ushuaia to get a little more south, and we did! to the Perfectura Naval in Moat, GPS position S54 58.543 W66 44.666 The end of the most southerly road in the world. Of course we couldnt come this far and not go for a swim. So in the spirit of the hardy annuals who go for their christmas day swim at the 40foot we dived into the Beagle Channel a meagre few miles from Antarctica. Actually it wasnt as bad as it seems (video is over on the side bar).

After we made our way to Rio Grande where we are hanging out today before making the trip across to Puerto Natales and Parque Nacional Torres del Paine tomorrow. Here are a few pictures for you below. It really is quiet a ruggadly beautiful place, but very wild.
