Civilisation finally but we quickly realise that our hitchinking luck hadn´t returned.
Wed managed to get all the way to El Chalten from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia & back again without getting a single bus, which we were quite proud of!
Now we hadn´t managed to get a lift in 3 days! And as there we no buses available still to Perito Mereno township we were stuck again. So we stayed in a nice small town with a little camp site and bought our 1st decent food in while! We even managed to find a supermarket open!
As there we literally no cars going to Perito either we tried to hitch to Puerto San Julian but when we realised there no was no cars going that way either we managed to find a very expensive bus that would take us there.
We got there at 10pm and stayed in a nice municipal campsite overnight.
Next morning hitching again. This unfortunately involved getting out to the Ruta 3, a long walk with our heavy bags & to add to insult started to rain for the 1st time in Argentina!
Ruta 3, "A paved oasis" after all the gravel roads we had experienced over the past 5-6 days! A nice lady from Rio Gallegos picked us up and drove us 430 km to Comodoro Rivadavia, wow now that´s a lift!
Mariana & the lady proceeded to chat all the way, whilst the confused James sat in the back listening and trying to understand the Spanish he could. In the end he admitted defeat & fell asleep!
