After arriving in El Calafate at 1:00AM after yet another epic bus journey of 18 hours and a 3 hour stop over we were treated to a free cab ride to our hostel, which was a rather nice touch we thought, so we checked in and went right to sleep.The following morning we endeavoured to book our trip to see the Puerto Marino Glacier but as we arrived really late and tried to book really early we struggled, but after a few phone calls we managed to get onto a trip leav...
