Goodbye Torres Hello Puerto Natales

4 hour walk after breakfast before lunch and 2 hours on bus.
Currently sat in hostel - we seem to be the only ones here. Log burner roaring away - melting the TV and us!
Saw Lama jumping fences today and a Rhea (funny emu like thing) and lots of Condor. Very nice walk with our two new friends from Portland who we left at the bus stop as they were off to Argentina.
Oh and when we walked back into our room after dinner we had to open all the doors and windows as we had left our dirty washing out and the room stank. We've sealed it all into plastic bags until we get to Punta Arenas tomorrow - always assuming we get there. Puerto Natales is not a big place but it took us an hour to find our hostal today. 2nd note to self - always take the guidebook with you - even if you think its too heavy to bother carrying on your trek - it has the only map you have of where the hostal you are staying in is....that is no good if left in the bags you put in storage - oopsie. Still found hostal eventually after practising our direction finding question and answer Spanish! Legs ache so off to bed now - have to try and find bus at 8am tomorrow.
