(allt í fína) From Argentina part II
El Chaltén was great! Small town thet thrives mostly on tourism. People going on trips to Parque Nacional de los Glaciares. The day after arriving we: Me,Kathleen(Scotland), Sara(Taiwan) and Josè(Spain)from the Route 40 tour, took on a four hour trek to see Mount Fitz Roy (the highest mountain on the picture above). Fantastic day with fantastic views. We even met a professional photographer who took our picture with Fitz Roy in the background for his book that he is making about Patagonia. That night I took the bus to El Calafate leaving the others until we would meet agian the next day in El Calafate. El Calafate is a very cool town...I had roasted lamb with mashed potatoes that evening ...jummy!!
The next day a used for practical things like washing clothes and arranging trips for the next days. in the evening I went to meet the others at the bus station and after they got settled at the Calfate Hostel and we had a couple of beers before turning in.
Next morning we all went to Glaciar Perito Moreno (photo left, with the gang: José,Kathleen, Sara and myself). A huge glacier where we sailed out to the face of the glacer watching huge pieces breaking off which was quite spectacular. We had a fantastic buffet dinner together that night with a nice Mendoza wine and unbeleavable Argentinian beef (the real thing) wow! The next day Sara had to stay behind in El Calafate as she did not have a visa to Chile. The rest of the gang: Me, Kathleen and José took the bus to Puerto Natales in Chile where we arrived at midday. There we arranged (at the fantastic hostal: Erratic Rock) the greatest trek I have ever been on...it even tops the Inca trail!! You can read all about it soon, and see some unbeleavable pictures, in the next chapter.
