Hello lovely friends. Hi guys. Greetings from Ushuaia. Long time not hearing from us.
Yeah, we just wanted to tell you here in this video how we got there. How did we get to Ushuaia?
Crazy. How long it took us, you know, you all know that. But anyways, the details since we left
Europe, you were probably wondering what happened to us because on YouTube nothing
came up. But in this video you're gonna see a lot and we're gonna give you a little update
how we got down here through Chile and Argentina. And yeah, I'm not gonna spoil it now.
Check out this video and stay tuned. I am Isabela and I am from Brazil. This is Fabian and he is German.
We've been overlanding the world with our home sweet home Frank the Tank for the past almost
four years. And together with our son Mateo and our two lovely dogs Uni from Spain and Basco
from Germany, we are living even for before. Subscribe and welcome to the family. So welcome back.
So this video is brought to you by Cospid. Nice watches we received to do this adventure in South
America. Yeah. So you're gonna see a little bit about this watch. Exactly. Stay tuned. So about the update
guys. Yeah, like you all know in November last year, 23, we shipped our truck from Hamburg to
Valparaiso in Chile. So all this preparation with our truck worked out pretty well. Thanks again
to Caravan Shippers and Eduardo. He's a really lovely guy. He was the guy that welcomed us in
in Chile and organized everything in the harbor. So there's gonna be specific videos about that as
how we arrived. You only saw how we left. You can see that somewhere here. We decided to come a
little earlier or in a time when you ship a truck you never know when it exactly arrives. So we had
some lovely house around Valparaiso in Santiago. We met also Dagmar and Stefan. Hi. This way.
Again, they also shipped their truck the same way on a flat rack. And yeah, we spent about 10 days I
think in a lovely house to get acclimatized to this new world, South America to us or to me.
Then we picked up the truck and drove up to... We wanted to go down to Ushuaia quickly.
But what happened is, then you meet people and this is always the journey. And they said, well,
you should go a little up north, you know, Atacama Desert at the beginning. Quickly enough, in one
night we decided instead of driving south we go north of Chile. We went all the coastline up to
Las Arenas into Valle de Eke it's called. And in Valle de Eko there's a really really lovely
off-road track, the Antakari trail, which is basically created for motorcycles, motorcyclists.
But we decided to do it with our trucks and had a lovely lovely time. So this is really a great
trip. Then after that we drove back to Santiago, stocked up, and then we decided to go finally
down north and enjoy the summer here in Ushuaia or Patagonia.
This video is brought to you by Cospet. And Cospet just sent us these two lovely watches.
This one is already open because Fabian was testing. And this one was for me and I will test it.
Those two watches are more or less the same as I understand it until now. They all come with
these military grades that you can really go deep in water and drive above it. They are really like
rugged watches. It's only the design what's changed on them. This is more rugged like for guys.
And this would be more for girls. But in general they are the same thing. Here is a scan. I need to
scan first. That will work then with my telephone. And then I can go through the rest with you guys.
So now for this matter of the test we have here the Cospet watch. I'm testing the
Ultra 3 I guess. Tank 3. And Isabella is testing the M3. And now I'm just gonna see how the
weather is here in Ushuaia. Because I can. So today in Ushuaia we have five degrees. UV index very low.
So no sunscreen necessary. And yeah, overcast. But still. See we have a nice mountain view today.
So we will enjoy. So what do you expect from a smart watch? I mean at least we expect that
obviously it shows the time. And in our age it should just tell us the blood pressure.
Some health indicators. Yeah I think that's what the watch does. Additionally it shows us the
weather when you hike in Patagonia. That's sometimes important. And yes it's connected to your phone.
And basically to me personally it would be a mirror of my phone. So I will receive messages.
I can read them there. And so you stay up to date while you're hiking. So whoever needs that
this watch can do it. We can also take some nice pictures. You can put the camera somewhere.
And you can walk away and then you can see it on the phone. Pretty neat. So this is just a couple
of things that we like. And obviously it's rugged. It has a protection. They said I could
actually drive my truck above it. I'm not sure if I want to do that. But we will see.
It shows the height where we are. I have a compass now all the time with me. Yeah since you know we
drive a truck a lot. That's pretty cool. This is a really nice hike to the glacier Martial.
And the way is not really the best because it was snowing. For me as an Apple user I have the Apple
watch. And it's important that I can keep on track of some hikes, walks and things like that. And
that the battery lasts through the whole hike. And with those it looks like they have really
good battery. And it can be more than a week with this battery. I still need to test that.
But you can track it on your whole hike without issues. Yeah so this is the watch. Just the basic
features again. Obviously you can call somebody. You can import your contacts. The daily activity.
Outdoor run. Workout. So you can see stuff here. You know indoor run. Cycling. I think it's 170
possibilities that you can do. Pool. Swim. You know obviously it's waterproof. It's pretty neat. I
didn't think about that. It has all those sport modes. So now I'm in the outdoor sport mode.
And I started a trail. And yeah it shows me my heart rate. It shows me the speed.
It shows me basically the kilometers I do. I mean the basics you need always to take out or I needed
to take out my phone to stop. Now I have it on my watch. I mean I'm still driving. And the road is
rugged. So let's see if I can show you. There you go. I hope you can see. It shows you everything.
And yeah it's a pretty cool thing. The blood oxygen you can see. So it's still good. Your
stress level you can start measuring. And well voice assistant. Music. When you have music on
your phone you can start and stop playing it. And obviously it's a good looking watch. You can also
set the look of it obviously because it's digital. Everything is possible. Nice. Summer here in
Ushuaia or Patagonia. So we did all this. We crossed the rivers. We came to Pucon.
In Pucon we arrived at around Christmas time. So and funny enough we still were with Dagmar and
Stefan with their nice MAN truck. And yeah then we decided to have a short break for Christmas.
And we got a nice house. Greetings to Kiko and his family. We had a nice Christmas.
Lovely Christmas with a view to the lakes and everything Patagonian style. After that we went
apart. Dagmar and Stefan went to Argentina. And we stayed in Chile side. And we decided to explore
the seven lakes or the lakes around there. And drove down slowly to Puerto Montt. In Puerto Montt
we started the Carrera Austral. And went to I think it's called Punta Las Arenas. I'm not quite
sure. And there we saw a ferry. And then we said well but there's a island called. People told us
about Chilue Island. It's one of the most beautiful islands in Chile they said. So we said yeah we
turn around and from Puerto Montt you could take a ferry to the island. And we did Chilue. So we said
yeah quickly let's do Chilue you know. And then on the way down. So again we spent I think two weeks
And you know us we're really slow traveling. Yeah from Chilue you come to another ports.
And those ports go to other islands. So of course you're standing there and we're like okay there's
another island so let's go. So we were doing a little island hopping back and forth. So all the
trip was a little prolonged so to speak. And then from south of Chilue we decided to go back to the
And we shipped our truck to Chaiten. The Chaiten in Chile. And in Chaiten this is a lovely town.
It was unfortunately destroyed a couple of years and they built it up again by volcanoes.
So volcanoes are the thing in this area. So we did the Carretera Austral first a little north
to see the whole thing. Met some lovely people on bikes you know. Like it was a really great time.
Did some lovely hikes. I don't know maybe you can see that here too. Up to volcanoes. And yeah so we
did all this. After this we decided again to go to Carretera South and towards Coyhaique. We went
with a boat into those marble caves. La Catedral. A lot of in and outs you know like gravel roads.
By the way Carretera Austral there's not paved roads. Like really just a couple of things are
paved. But it's really lovely. We had well our new tires are not new anymore. So we had some troubles.
Like we used our spare. Then two days later we had to put the broken spare back because we had some
some issues. So there's a lot of things happening. Very a lot of things happening. We met lovely people.
Matteo has so much fun. He grows so fast. The dogs are fine you know. You have to do all the border
crossings because constantly you go to Argentina. You go to Chile. I don't know Chile Chico was
was one of the highlights as well. We met up again with Dagmar and Stefan there.
So all in all it was lovely. And then we drove down until we are here now in Ushuaia. So all
the details. We promise you that one day it's all gonna come. We still have to show you South Africa
and Namibia. We still have to show you everything. We will do detailed videos. But please forgive us.
We are enjoying the time with our son now. And we want to use as much as time as he grows up until
he goes to school. So if you have some tips where to settle down guys. This is one of the mind games.
I think this trip Isabella and me were talking a lot about missions and whatever you know.
What is our mission? And I think to me at least personally this mission is to raise my child very
well. And so we need a new home for him. If you know some good places around this planet.
Good communities where you can you know raise a child. Good schools. Good education. Free spirit.
You know us. Let us know in the comments. So anyways greetings from Ushuaia. I hope or we hope
you enjoyed this video. Stay tuned. There's gonna be more. People ask a lot about how you know.

There is Marshall. 1390 meters. And he is there. Awesome.
So again we managed. Yes we are here. It's beautiful. We show you the glacier in a second.
Just saying. Now you can see on the watch. We did 5.76 and we have to still go this back.
