Kayaking with Whales

The second part of our holiday was fairly extravagant (this is the beauty of both being employed, not having expensive hobbies and having no children! ;o)) and we decided to do a once in a lifetime experience sort of trip: Kayaking with Whales.

Las Torres del Paine National Park

December in Santiago - 30 degrees and blazing sun... In an attempt to escape the heat, as well as making good use of the holiday season, we decided to travel to the southern tip of Chile and visit a part of the country which we haven't seen, yet: Patagonia.

Our first Puma encounter in Patagonia :o)

Having a great time in Patagonia. A long post will follow in about a week but so far we have done some amazing walks (to the Torres mirador and to Glaciar Grey), seeing some local Fauna (nandues, guanacos, pumas, condors, grey foxes and hares among others).

Cerro Provincia

Only a few days ago we blogged on the subject of how to work out your dog. Of course we also like the good old loooooong walk. Here is the story of the one we did last Sunday, which took us to the summit of Cerro Provincia.

Most dogs we know (just like most people) are massively underexercised (with workout routine of fence barking and lazying around in the front garden if they are lucky). We make an effort with Mario to keep him in shape but this has clear time constraints as we both spend quite a lot of time working 5 days a week (not to mention language classes and trying to keep ourselves in good shape too)....
