Lucky you were to see the "end of the world"! I wonder where the "beginning of the world" is situated? May be at the top of the Fuji in Japan? Merry Christmas, Michael! All the best wishes from Moscow!

beautiful pictures of the landscapes. To go by train at the end of the world sounds for me an interesting idea :-)

Nice landscapes at the southern end of the Americas, I am curious when there will really be a complete highway all the way, even connecting Panama and Colombia.
