Before reaching Porvenir, we drove on a gravel road alongside the Pacific's shore. At one moment, Isabel shouted: "dolphins!!!!". Hadrien and Mijail braked like crazy knowing Isabel's fondness for maritime animals. The dolphins were jumping, doing flips and swimming backwards for us! What a nice surprise to watch this spectacle during our last day.
We had a good lunch in Porvenir, a small desolated town which once made the paper, a century ago, because of a gold rush.
We embarked our motorbikes into the ferry. The trip was surprisingly accompanied by diving and jumping penguins and we even spotted a group of sea lions.
Two hours later we reached Punta Arenas. It was then the rush to prepare the luggage for our flight, give back our motorbikes, have a last memorable dinner and sleep 3 hours before taking our flight.
Epilogue
Now this adventure is over. We didn't have one day of bothering rain, the weather was always perfectly on our side (except the wind which sometimes was on the wrong side). We are all tired, exhausted, done; but very happy to have made it, to have experienced all those amazing landscapes, delicious meals, excellent weather, good laughs and from time to time also a bit of grrrrr. It was entirely worth it but required a lot of preparation.
We are now taking a 1-week well deserved vacation. Mijail & Isabel are flying to Mendoza, Argentina, to spend time with Mijail's family. Hadrien is going for a few days to Buenos Aires and Montevideo.
We thank all those who followed us regularly on the blog, in their hearts or both and also all those who contributed to the fundraising.
Until the next one!!!!
