Day: 171 Holy Jesus, am I ever hungover… This evening Markus and Liz both had flights to seperate parts of the country, but they still had the entire day to kill before their flights. We decided to keep the car for another day and drive out to another part of Los Glaciers National Park; Lake [...]
Day: 170 So Markus arranged to rent us an extra small car today, for the four of us to head out to see the Perito Moreno Glacier and ice field. This mass is 60 meters high and grows at a rate of 2 meters a day, its a mammoth wall of ice that during the [...]
Day: 169 So I know all that talk that a photographer should always be able to get good photos as long as there is light. I agree with it too, but it is so much more fun when the sun and the sky comes out to play. As you’ve probably gathered by now, it was [...]
Day: 168 Popeye would say “Well, Blow me down” and since it did almost blow me down I thought it be perfect for the occasion. Today we (myself & the Germans Marcus and Amanda) hiked a 13 mile round trip up to another couple of glaciers above Laguna Tres. It was quite a climb, that [...]
Day: 167 Finally a day that doesn’t involve a bus. I know it won’t last but I am going to enjoy the next couple of days before I have reservations to get on another bus further south. I am currently in El Chalten, a tiny little town, dwarfed even more by the monstorous glacially formed [...]
Day: 166 $12 pesos ($4) for two cups of coffee and a couple pieces of bread! Outragous! I think this tour is making money of us right and left. Yesterday we had a “guide” on the bus, but she told us nothing about trip, she just spent the entire time trying to sell us tours [...]
Day: 165 Rolling out of bed with the sun, I brushed my teeth, grabbed my bags and wandered down to the bus stop to spend and exciting day driving down Route 40 with 35 other people for 14 hours or so, and thats only half the trip! Tomorrow I get to do the same exact [...]
Day: 164 With a 6am bus ride tomorrow, and the remnants of a wicked bender last night still throbbing in my head I decided to take it easy today. I walked by the lake, drank a couple cups of cafe con leche, cooked my own dinner. After dinner I sat around with a couple from [...]
Day: 163 So with my German friends hitting the bus station to head north, I was left alone for a couple more days in Bariloche. I had made an escape plan to head south along Route 40, the “worst road in South America” as Lonely Planet puts it, but the next bus isn’t [...]
Day: 162 So we took this crazy jeep trip with an insane driver who had us painfully bouncing all over Patagonia today. Of course it included meat, many great views, waterfalls (or wasserfalls in German, as I was taught) and an assortment of other things, but I am seriously sore and even bleeding a little [...]
