https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/2012-12-05-19.56.58_thumb.jpg
Wed. 5th December 2012 No moaning about how quickly the time is passing, but we are distinctly aware as we wake that today marks the end of our time in South America. It is a continent of real contrasts from …

Day 113: Santiago On Two Wheels
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/SAM_2862_thumb.jpg
Tues. 4th December 2012 As we enjoyed our Buenos Aires city cycle tour we have decided this is a very good way to explore new cities. We opted for the morning “locals and markets” tour from La Bicicleta Verde. The …
Day 112: Fated
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/WP_000288_thumb.jpg
Mon. 3rd December 2012 It wasn’t the best night’s sleep that we have ever had but equally it wasn’t the worst. I’d liken the seats on the bus to those in Premium Economy on an airplane. I would have preferred …
Day 111: No News Day
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/DSC04818_thumb.jpg
Sun. 2nd December 2012 A summary of today is “ It rained all day” but I have been told I need to write more than four words! After packing up yet again and leaving our bags in storage, well, behind …
Day 110: More Cycling
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/DSC04764_thumb.jpg
Sat. 1st December 2012 Its the start of another month and also Day 11o marks the 1/3 point of our trip. We only have a few more days in South America before heading across the Pacific on a new phase …
Day 109: Museum Time
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/DSC04735_thumb.jpg
Fri. 30th November 2012 Apparently the average rainfall in Chile is greater than the UK. Not much consolation for those at home and struggling with the rain, cold and flooding. We can believe this fact as it is an overcast …
Day 108: Don’t Be A Gringo
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/DSC04677_thumb.jpg
Thur. 29th November 2012 Today was a day that we took the words of Miraslava (our host in Tulum all those weeks ago) to heart – she hated with a passion the tourist resorts and prepackaged tours in the Yucatan …
Day 107: A Day For The Birds
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/DSC04626_thumb.jpg
Wed. 28th November 2012 The first birds we saw were flying acrobatic ones made of metal, four planes from the Chilean Air Force were just finishing a training run before coming in to land, quite impressive. This morning we are …
Day 106: The End Of The World
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DSC04592_thumb.jpg
Tue. 27th November 2012 Punta Arenas marks the southern-most point of our trip. At 53o 41’ S, it is further south than anywhere in New Zealand or Africa. Whilst not quite at the end of South America, we are looking …
Day 105: Chile, No Its FFreezing!
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SAM_2724_thumb.jpg
Mon. 26th November 2012 Today we are heading even further south through Chile, 240km to Punta Arenas, the furthest south we are ever likely to go. The temperature gauge on the bus falls by 8 C over the journey. The …
