Today did this thing called HidroSpeed.

HidroSpeed basically involves going down a white water rafting course with a wetsuit and a piece of foam shaped like an egg.

Like white water rafting you get very wet.

Like surfing you need to do a lot of paddling.

Like drowning, you need to keep you head above water.

Cold
The rivers in Chile are pretty cold, after a certain period of time your hands and feer are numb.

But don’t let that put you off.

I’ve never had so much fun.

What a great day out.

Doing nothing toight after last nights drunken socialising bonanza.

Rough Guide Argentina
Sourced copy of RG Argentina (reference only).

Autumn is apon us and winter is approaching.
Have been advised of worsening weather conditions in the south of the country.

Also, it is not possible to make it to the far south of Chile without taking a costly and time consuming series of boat trips.

I’m not the best sailor. I don’t enjoy rough seas, or the sea full stop, however I don’t mind buses.
Buses are plentiful on the Argentinian side of the border; I can travel right down to Tierra del Fuego, Isle Grande, and the spike of land known as Cape Horn.

Have spent the day horse riding.

Didn´t move beyond canter.

These horses were built for comfort not for speed extra padded seats, protected, stirrups, no spurs etc..

Got to see a few of the hills without the sounds of a motorbike.

The Canopy
Also went on mad death slide they call the Canopy .

It swings between the canopy of trees on 6 seperate hill tops.
6 Death slides for the price of 1, use your hand as the brake, fantastically exciting stuff.

Natural spa with mud thrown in.

Not throw in, more by the side.
Outside the mud was.

Here’s a picture of the mud.
