El Calafate – Perito Moreno

It seemed like Buenos Aires did not want to see us leaving the capital! After 5 days stuck in the city searching for solutions to get a new passport and a new credit card, we went out of the hostel on Friday night at 7:10PM to take a bus at 8:00PM to Rio Gallegos. We were waiting for a taxi in the street when we heard a man speaking on his cell phone, he was saying that there was no metro, no bus and all the taxis were busy… Apparently the rain flooded the roads and blocked the city. We were in panic: we did not want to stay one night more in Buenos Aires!
We run with our big bags on our back in direction to the terminal (2km by foot) wishing to cross a taxi available on our way. I begged all the taxi drivers that we met on the road to drive us to the terminal but none of them were “libre”(as they say over there). We walked then 2 km under a heavy rain...

It was a real nightmare: i twas not easy to walk with 15kg on our shoulders, under the rain, in the crowd of Portenos workers looking for a way to go home and with the fear to miss our ride to Patagonia.

We finally arrived to the terminal 5 minutes before the departure. I took off my bag and… bad surprise… the scrubbing of my new bag on my shoulders with the rain and the warmth removed 3 cm² of my skin... Our 48 hours in the bus enabled us to rest and to heal my wounds (Maxime was gallant carrying my bag from the bus to the hostel).

We arrived to El Calafate on Sunday night. El Calafate is a nice city in the middle of the mountains and closed to the Argentino Lake.
Today we visited the Perito Moreno glacier. It was beautiful. This glacier is a feast for the eyes and the ears: the enormous ice creaking sounds were surprising. We walked for 2 hours in this wonderful landscape, it was really windy… but it was so good to feel so far from Buenos Aires problems.
