WOW!
Well we made it after a made it after a mad dash over the Chilean/Argentinian border just before it closed at 10pm from Torres del Paine. We got a lift off some nice argetinians that were driving to EL Calafate.
Camping overnight & then explore of El Calafate- capital to the Glacier National Park.
After catching up after being in the wilderness of Torres for 3 days, it was nice to have a good proper town to explore and buy provisions at last. There is only so long you can live on crackers!!
We attempted to hitch hike to Perito Merino Glacier, which are shown in our Argentina photos opposite. But with little success, so we camped by moonlight on Lago Argentina, very nice!
Next morning it was a v early start, which wasn't helped by the fact Mariana had been unwell overnight :-(
We were rescued by a lovely spanish couple called Diana & Richie who picked us up and we then spent the rest of the day travelling with them.
The Glacier was amazing!!! Huge beyond belief and there right in front of you as if it was bearing down on you. We had a great day with Richie & Diana and saw some amazing wildlife which Richie managed to pick out.
After that it was time to move on to El Chalten.....
