Today is also to be a very relaxing day as its Sunday and I have nothing much I want to do here in Calafate. Lucia had to go to work at 11am so we had a late breakfast together and worked out a bit of a plan for tonight to maybe cook together and watch a movie. The good thing was that Luz- Lucia's sister has the day off so we could hang-out. In the morning I did my exercises and then we made a vegetarian lunch together and shared a few Yerba Mates together. The s...

After a really nice sleep in a comfortable bed I was up ready for a relaxing day with my new friends. I did some yoga, surfed the Internet and uploaded a few photos before having a late lunch with the girls. Tonight we are doing a traditional Asado (Argentinian BBQ) at the girls Mums house so I am very excited about that.

After lunch and a few Yerba Mates with Hernan I thanked him for all h...

I then took off down the road and had about a 10 minute walk to where I thought it would be a good place to hitchhike from. The weather was beautiful this morning but after being told it is freezing cold at the Glac...

After not a lot of sleep again I got up early and made some breakfast; noticing that the weather was not looking so nice today. As I had not much to do I decided to go back to bed - one of the benefits of not having to go to work. After my brief sleep-in I helped Herman with his motorbike; he was trying to change oil but unfortunately the previous mechanic had rounded-off the bolt making it impossible to undo. In the afternoon I got a lift to town with Herman and...
