Finally we reached our very last Argentinian town El Calafate; one of the most southern towns in Argentina/Patagonia. It reminds me of a ski resort town and is full to the brim of tourists, shops and restaurants. It stretches along one road and has little lanes springing off which holds lots of stalls that sell wooly ponchos and hats, wooden carvings and local Jewellery. Probably the nicest gift shops I've seen so far along our journey and I was very tempted by most of the items on sale! Anyway due to the town being like this it also made it expensive and being in the middle of nowhere they know how to charge you! With our daily budget doubling fairly quickly in Patagonia we decided to stop just a couple of nights, camping once more. We found what looked to be a nice but busy campsite, El Ovejero, with a little stream running through it. It was recomended in alot of guide books. We didn't realise the El Calafate music festival was this same weekend (more Spanish music... which we was keen to avoid as we had enough from the bus journey!) So the campsite was full of young Argentinian 16-25 year olds; most looking like they had just appeared from the set of the film Apocalypto with their weird half shaved hairstyles, piercings and dress sense! Also included the worst Transexual I have ever seen! After politely refusing his/her offer of weed (as we smelt it in the air to get high enough anyway) we resigned ourselves to no sleep again (for both of us this time) as they partied well into the whole night, only going to sleep as we was getting up! So tired, which is a shame as we was incredibly comfortable in this cooler climate wrapped up snuggly in our sleeping bags! Anyway we decided to use our day to go and visit the very famous Moreno Glacier. This is one of the only two advancing glaciers in south America and has an impressive 5km front and is 60metres high! It was amazing! A giant looking spiky Iceberg nestled in between some of the Andes and also sat on a beautiful milky turquoise coloured lake, Lago Argentino. We spent the whole day strolling around the viewing platforms taking in the sheer size of this Glacier and listening to it produce loud thundery roars as the ice cracks and crashes into the lake below. Stunning to watch and listen to! I forgot to mention that in my last blog, Puerto Madryn we met some lovely people from the hostel. One guy called Michael, who had ridden his Motorbike all the way from his home in Toronto straight down to the bottom of South America and was heading back up to his last stop in Buenos Aires! Wow, very interesting guy! (Note, This was the person who helped Jonathan cook my Valentines meal; although secretly I think Michael cooked the whole lot himself! Haha we all know Jonathans clueless in the kitchen!) Also we met another young Denmark guy called Christian who has been travelling on his own for the last two weeks, only age 19, and has since accompanied us on our journey from Puerto Madryn to El Calafate and our trip to the Glacier. A lovely person and speaks great English! Anyway after arriving back from the glacier, as we had easily blown our daily budget doing this trip anyway we decided to go the whole hog and blow it further on a meal in a restaurant for once (we are full to the brim off bread, ham, hotdogs and dare-I-say-it... Cheese! I am not kidding you when I say that it's what everyone lives off for snacks in this country and ever since Brazil it's what we have been offered Everywhere! It also seems to be the only cold pre-cooked snack available in all supermarkets! Haha). With the majority of the restaurants you stroll past the windows and see open roaring fires with two roasting carcases of lamb on them, yummy! So naturally we had to try this local 'Parrilla Libre'! For about £13 each you got fresh bread, a tasty all you can eat salad bar and then a mixed grill containing a hefty chunk of this lamb, chicken, sausage and black pudding! It was delicious! A bottle of Malbec red wine later we was all set for hopefully a quiter night in the tent! Nope! Anyway we got up at 6:30am while everyone was still partying, to put our tent away and slog our backpacks up the 10 flights of stairs to the bus station for 8:30am where we will be departing to Chile, Puerto Natales! Further south and west Puerto Natales is one of the most southern Chile/Patagonian towns and is home to national park Torres Del Paine. (Christian is following on a later bus tonight, bless him). Argentina is lovely and I need to sum up my top 5 fave things again! I'll leave this for after I've had a kip on the bus and I'm more awake! Cheerio Hayls and Jonathan x
