Hey Zhu,

Fantastic place! I have an Argentinian friend who told me that Patagonia was simply amazing!
20 hours sun? Wow…
Cold water at the beach…come to Portugal LOL! Seriously, there must be much worse than here…

I loved the photos: definitely it is a great place to visit ! You are blessed!

Have fun guys, and keep us posted!

Cheers

@DianeCA — Same here! I can never resist… even in Arica where there were huuuge jellyfishes!

@Aiglee — It´s quite a long way but it worth it

@Tulsa Gentleman — Strayed? nah… Just a few thousands kilometers South… I never know where I will end up when I travel!

@Linguist-in-Waiting — Same here. I have never seen it in the Northern hemisphere!

@Bluefish — Not sure… Give it another month maybe… we really don´t have a define plan.

@Froggywoogie — Oh, you have no idea And I also escape a two months bus strike in Ottawa apparently!

@the writer — It is a special place. It had always made me dream as well. I almost cried when we arrived!

@Soleil — There is also a local beer called “Austral”, Feng tasted it. There are all these cool stuffs… I collect plastic bags which say “Patagonia” cause the name is cool

Zhu, I am enjoying your travels so much, thank you for sharing with all of us! I keep having to wipe drool off of the keyboard after I look at your pictures. What an amazing experience. I hope that I’ll be able to go to the same places some day! I never knew there were actual cities and people in the Tierra del Fuego/Straits of Magellan. I always imagined it to be like Antarctica, but I just read that there’s apparently even a local beer under the mark Beagle. Can’t wait to see the next installment of your journeys!

Oh how I envy you so much! All my life I have been dreaming to go to Patagonia after reading an old article in National Geographic! Must save up from now on!

Journalistic post as always and very good pictures.
I knew you’d miss winter in Canada so much you now have to go fetch the cold down South

Beautiful pictures once again! I like the wooden posts with world’s distance. When are you coming?

Whoa. Midnight sun in the other direction. It reminds me of my stay in Denmark back in July, which happens to be my northernmost place I have visited. No midnight sun, but the sun never set until sometime after ten PM!

For someone who planned to stay in Central America you have strayed a bit south. How very exciting. Your photo of the Midnight sun is absolutely breath taking. Thank you, thank you.

Ah you are in the other half of the world. Yes it is like that in Norway in the summertime. The Land of the Midnight Sun. I am like you, I always have to dip my bare toes in the water no matter how cold it is. Water is a source of life to me, I always have to dip in! Amazing photos!
