Day 2 - Punta Arenas

The main event today is the gear check at 3pm so I go for a potter round town in the morning. There really isn't much to see in PA and it is very windy and rainy being just off the Southern Ocean so not long later head back to hotel to finalise some work and get some more blog entries published. 

The gear check is uneventful apart from a bit of concern as to whether my 6 pairs of gloves and 6 pairs of trousers would be enough! I then head to the checks on the two Daves (from Canada) who are also in the hotel to say hello before we head out for another wander round town and plan to meet for a couple of drinks and dinner later on.
We try to go to the Shackleton Bar which is where he spent a lot of time planning his Antarctic trips but for some reason it is closing early at the moment and we leave without even being able to get a drink.
