Wake up for breakfast and to leave paradise on Easter Tuesday. This is a holiday for the falklands war here in Argentina, so today sarah was saying shes australian for the first time.... Well i said it and she didn't reject it is more the point. We get organised and arrive on the boat to be next to Torey and his mum again, and we are heading to the same hotel in Colonia, small world. After arriving in Colonia, Sarah has a rest and I look for US dollars and food. ...

28/3 We get up for another simple breakfast where we get a cup and saucer, no plate, 1 knife and then some bread and jam. We take turns with the knife and use the saucer as a plate... Interesting place with holes in the walls in places, a hole in the bathroom with a hook to flush the toilet, and some holes with exposed wires. We make it down to the 'estacion del micro' (micro is a intercity bus in argentina, just to show I have learnt some Spanish) and board th...

Even with very few customers they are constantly busy but mostly talking to people. The funniest part is we could see what we ...

21/3 Bariloche We finally arrive in Bariloche after a grueling 34 hour bus ride. We decide to go our separate ways and meet up for a local beer and world famous steak! Tom and Vera in one taxi and Sarah and I in another, which turned into a small game of cat and mouse on our way to the city. We arrived at hostel penthouse.... it was the penthouse but now its a great hostel. Get the bags down, wipe the days of sleep out of our eyes and rest for a few minutes. T...

18/3 El Chatén We got on another bus from El Calafate to El Chaten to complete two hikes. To hike the to Lago Torre and see Cerro Torre and Lago de Los Tres and see Cerro Fitz Roy, both climbing Mecca's. We arrived at a lovely small 'bed and breakfast' with 2 rooms, Hospitaje Mi Rincon. We pick up a snack and don the hiking boots again, covering the bleeding parts of our feet (no joke). Sarah sensibly decides to hike the 5 Kim's to the first lookout, eat lunch...
