El Calafate

10 °C
After our 18 hour trip from Puerto Madryn, with Ruta 40 still being closed, we arrived in El Calafate. This would be our base for the next 8 nights or so. We used the first day to relax, have a few beers and look around the town.
This quaint but expensive little town was also out of season somewhat with its main revenue involving snow. Our aim for the next few days was to trek in Torres Del Paine (Chile), visit El Chalten and visit the Glacier Perito Moreno. All of which were heavily dependant on weather conditions.
We hired a cracking little Corsa again, checked the weather on some English site (which proved to be completely wrong) and decided to go to Chile first.
