Get adjusted to 15 hours of daylight! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s winter at home, but summer in Chile. Sunrise at 6:30am and sunset at 9:45. (CHECK)<br \/>\n2.) Breakfast (CHECK)<br \/>\n3.) Take a quick tour of Punta Arenas. Touch the toe, exchange some money and hit the store for some snacks. (CHECK)<br \/>\n4.) Meet up with my longtime friend and Chilean guide Tadeo and their driver Victor. Hit the road to Puerto Natales. 3-4hrs (CHECK)<br \/>\n5.) Get checked in to the hotel and stretch the legs a bit. (CHECK)<br \/>\n6.) Get some dinner. (CHECK)<br \/>\n7.) Grab a beer (or pisco sour) &amp; appreciate where they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re at in the world.
