Just gave back our 4×4 to ABA rental in Bariloche. It has been our home, vehicle , storage and companion for the last 5 weeks . Hilux , we’re gonna miss you.

Now that the first part of the trip is done, I’ll be spending the next two weeks on the boat to Antarctica. With zero Internet the next post will be from there (if i can afford satellite fees for a picture) or only when i get back to Argentina.

Too much photo equipment
29
Oct
In last years trip to Australia, i took the Nikon D300 and 2 lenses (Nikon 18-200mm and Sigma 10-20mm) plus a tripod and some cables. I have taken some amazing pictures with this combo, and I still managed to miss a few shots by not having the right lens on or having the wrong settings (like manual focus or HDR on , duh).
I spent last year getting better at photography and stocking up and practicing with pro lenses (see my portfolio link on the side). As this is my first full-on photo trip I’m taking everything I have (and buying lots more accessories), and it’s been a huge hassle to amass what seems now like a huge pile of equipment that I will have to handle throughout the trip.
At least this time I have an iPad to backup and edit the photos on the way, instead of a 15″ Macbook Pro
practicing our kayaking skills

thanks to Rony at www.kayak4all.com, we’ve been waking up at ungodly hours and spending several hours a week in sea kayaks. It’s also a chance to check the waterproof camera.

Finding a 4×4 in South America
25
Sep
apparently, getting a 4×4 in South America is more complicated than expected. After more then a month of email, skype calls and friends we have a reservation in one of the independent car rentals in Bariloche. Besides Hertz (which is always more expensive) only half the rest returned our emails (there is no online reservations system), most of which didn’t have a 4×4.
