Unfortunately, I could not find any details on the site (I blame the web developer, personally) so I decided that you fund must have closed.

So life´s good huh? you better had those breakfasts down to a pat when I get to you! Kind of looking forward to having a base again. We really are in the arse end of the world here, waiting for a ferry to take us across another fjord to cross by foot into Argentina, luckily with a horse to carry the equipment. We´ll post a new blog soon. Just so you know, you´re kind of missed, why Montenegro eh?? Tommy Why do you always give me great ideas!

No need to rub in warm fireplaces and steak and ale pies...we have already mentioned on several occassions how much we miss the Steak & Tanglefoot pie and how when we get home we will be hightailing it to the nearest St Peter´s Finger for a dose! But thank you for the kind reminder. There has been no kite surfing of yet..although Simon has entertained the idea of several sessions across wind bitten fjords. He can have the freezing water as far as I am concered...I will just watch him from my sleeping bag (that is feather downed and can cope with temperatures of -20 degrees thank you very much...) Needless to say I don´t like the cold weather especially when you have been cycling in it all day and you are soaked to the bone from sweat and rain...not a good combination. We are having the time of our lives though. Stuck in Villa O´Higgins at the moment waiting for a ferry crossing to Argentine...this will be a story to tell I am sure. Love to Steve Jen xx Now Ruthy!

Chavs exist even in the arse end of the world at Villa O´Higgins! That said, I can imagine what a beautiful sight I am missing! Still not long till we´re back. I hope that network cable still keeps dropping between the desks? Actually you´d be wrong. Chavs exist even in the arse end of the world at Villa O´Higgins!

Isn't getting warmer as you go south? So no kite surfing in Chile?

We could only imagine what you guys back home were doing! Actually, I saw a clump of chavs on a street corner the other day. They were smoking and swearing. It was the kind of beautiful sight that you just don't get in places like Chile and Argentina. >>and witness a pod of dolphins playing in the fjord.
