El Calafate

Patagonian gale blowing through the bus followed by another 3 hour journey, We arrived in El Calafate, Which according to the lonely planet is a must visit to see the Perito Moreno Glacier! 

We found it to be a soulless nasty tourist trap blot on the landscape designed for removing money from your wallet. But as we timed our arrival with Christmas found ourselves stuck here for 5 days as we had not planned our next stop. 
Another reason for our strong dislike of the area was the fact that Sarah's camera wiped her memory card for no apparent reason pretty much the moment we stepped foot from the bus, leading us to think that one of the old native Indian tribes had cursed the place.

We did however have a couple of nice asado's, and a good slap up meal for Christmas dinner!


Lunchtime Asado!!!!


Buenisimo Asador!
