Fin del Mundo

Nearly at the worlds end. Fin del Mundo.
Yesterday was a rest day at hotel Explora Salta Chico. Without doubt one of the best hotels we have stayed at, mainly due to the breathtaking scenery in every direction. Having lunch beside a waterfall watching Condors is pretty special.

Nothing much to say about a rest day except we needed it. I think most people were quite sad to leave this lovely spot. This has got to be one of the best views out of a hotel bedroom.
But back on the road we must go.
The weather so far on this trip had been very good, for most of the days we had clear blue 
skies. Today was a little different, we set off in a very cold wind and grey drizzly clouds, after about 10 minutes this turned snow and a biting cold wind. We were cold in Molly so it must have been awful for the open top crews.  We had about 50 km of gravel and then 200 odd of lovely Tarmac roads. We stopped at Cafe El Patagon.

Highly recommended for its soup, unfortunately we watched the last bowl pass by eyes,with stomaches rumbling we drive onto another race circuit.

3 timed laps, great fun especially trying to avoid the pot holes. Think Bernie needs to have a word with them before its GP standard. We await the times, I don't think it was one of our better efforts but we will see. There is not a lot of tread left on Molly's tyres :)
We are staying at The Hotel of Dreams Punta Arenas, Chile.  Not quite the same as the last hotel but not bad, and the Internet works.
Everyone seems to be a little sad as our great adventure is drawing to a close. I expect a couple of glasses of wine later tonight will help :)
Tomorrow we have to catch the 6.30am ferry (think its still dark then) and cross the Magellan Strait to arrive in Tierra de Fuego and on to The End Of The World.
