Punta Arenas-day 7

We headed back to Punta Arenas today. In the morning we chased around a tire shop which was very difficult on a Sunday in Chile. We eventually found one that was a guy´s house with a huge pile of tiles in the front yard. It was called El Gringo, so we figured we came to the right place! All of us were looking forward to ditching the rental car after a dead battery, flat tire, and constant shaking from the wind driving everywhere.

at night we had drinks with a bunch of antartica sailors who shared stories from the high seas





trying to jump start it going down the hill


El GRINGO!




next to cerro de la cruz, the signs showing all the distances to major worldwide cities
