Cycling trip is over - next to the ship!

We finished our cycling trip yesterday. It was an epic day. We cycled about 60km around the 3rd largest lake in South America - right from the hotel to these waterfalls, which are between two cool volcanoes.

Then as the final trip option Charlotte, me, Gord, and two of the guides cycled from the bottom of this picture to the top of it - to the bottom of the ski hill that is on the volcano. It was a 25km ride. The first 15km were downhill, then we climbed 1,000m in 10km. Killer climb but wicked views back to the lake and the Pacific Ocean.

The bike trip was really good. Today we get on a plane and fly even further south. Tomorrow our four day cruise begins - we'll see loads of penguins, the souther tip of the world, and a whole pile of glaciers. We'll be out of internet contact while on the ship - perhaps the most incredible aspect of this entire trip ;-0
