Getting to El Calafate

That was a long bus journey ! We decided to go for it and head to the Moreno Glacier so from Puerto Madryn we hopped a bus heading for El Calafate.
Sixteen hours later we had to change buses in Rio Gallegos. The bus wasn´t as bad as it sounds, but also wasn´t the first class trip we had from BA.

Patagonia is pretty barren,not much to see for the first few hours but endless scrub grassand grazing lands. Then we got to some hills and the scenery was a little more interesting for a bit anyways. After a strange dinner (ham just doesn´t belong in a jelly roll...) and movie, I slept til Rio Gallegos.

At Rio Gallegos we had to change buses and had some time to kill so we went into town, not much there.....

Another 4 hour bus ride though some much more interesting scenery we arrived in El Calafate. This place is gorgeous ! The hostel overlooks Lagos Argentina, which is the 2nd largest lake in South America. It is a glacier lake and you can see the mountains off in the distance.

Tomorrow is the tour to the Moreno Glacier. Very excited !
