Saturday January 31st: A 4:30 am alarm began the day enabeling us to leave San Seastian by 5:40 am as dawn was bearly cracking. With estimates from previous experience that we would only be be able to travel at 15 mph along the 95 miles of ripio road between us and the only ferry to Puntea Arenas, we left with only a 2o minute buffer for things to go wrong. Although the road was treacherous in parts, we were able to average just over 20 mph and made it to Porvernir to catch the ferry with over an hour to spare.
It took 2 1/2 hours for the ferry to cross the Magellan Strait to Punta Arenas where we found shelter at a hostel with lots of character!
