A busy afternoon to Puerto Natales 19.11.2018

In front of the counter of Bus Sur, it's found that the next bus would be departed at 12:45 p.m. to Puerto Natales.  At the time I would like to take an earlier bus to save up the waiting time.  However,  after several searches and enquiries at different bus companies, I bought a ticket from Fernandes departed at 1:00 p.m. finally.

There was vast wilderness along the way.  As there was air conditioning inside the bus, hot vapour condensed on the window and the pictures got blurred

The cross border point to Argentina is quite small.  All the buses queued up to have their passengers alight and proceed to border control

Arrived at Puerto Natales Terminal Rodoviario (Estación de Autobuses) at 4:00, I then had many things to do -

1. tried to claim my ticket at the Turismo Zaahj counter for travelling from El Calafate back to Puerto Natales but I was told that it could only be claimed at El Calafate
2. found my way to Pire Mapu Cottage and check in
3. asked the owner Bren and Fabiana to help call up Air Canada to see when my luggage could be sent to me to Puerto Natales; got to know that it could only arrive 3 days later, that meant that I needed to buy all the stuff for the trekking; Bren and Fabiana were so kind and agreed to take care of my luggage
4. hurry to Chile Tour Patagonia to attend briefing for my "W" trek to be conducted on the following day

5. transferred to Garden Domes for the briefing and was released at about 7:00 p.m.
6. took the time to buy the trekking equipment until 9:00 p.m. when all the shops closed
7. dined at La Picada De Carlitos, for local and authentic Chilean food; I ordered seafood soup, yummy!

       8.  got washed and packed my backpack for trekking the next day

Pire Mapu Cottage

It was a good place to stay that I would recommend to others.  Bren and Fabiana were very friendly and helpful.  However I had no time to take pictures of the place.  Just notice that another couple stayed there once and in the same room as mine.  I would share their post here for my memory.
