Jan 15, 2005 - Ice Ice Baby

After a very good nights sleep, we headed to El Calafate in Argentina. ... Unfotunately though when we got there we had a nightmare trying to find accomodation, we could only find a hotel that would take us in but the price was 300US per night!!! Luckily after a couple of hours of searching we were able to find two beds in a dorm room (we were lucky!) We could not believe that even though there were hostels & hotels everywhere that they were completely booked out! The next morning we went on a tour to the Perito Moreno Glacier.After a very good nights sleep, we headed to El Calafate in Argentina. ...

Dec 12, 2004 - El Calafate and the Moreno Glacier

Phil`s starting to become more nervous of flying than Ca. surely you should be more nervous with a lack of noise?!? After touching down in El Calafate and throwing the bags over the bed we headed for a mooch around the small town. ... Now this might seem big until you see some of the postcards on sale in El Calafate. ... Huge waves of water and ice race towards the shore as a mini iceberg tumbles into the lake.Phil`s starting to become more nervous of flying than Ca. surely you should be more nervous with a lack of noise?!?

Oct 13, 2004 - ARGENTINA- El Calafate/ Perito Moreno Glacier/ Fitzroy

A pretty bumpy ride got us eventually to El Calafate. ... Well arrival in El Calafate, a one street town, we were all pleasantly surprised, its a luvly wooden town, apparently built for tourists, but the shops are full of little handicrafts, and its a bit cheaper than Chile :) So laundry done I headed to the camera shop to get my fotos onto CD so I can share them all with yooz, then disaster struck!!! Camera wasnt on top of my bag where I left it. ... 5 hours on a bus on really bumpy roads from El Calafate brought us here. ...

Sep 13, 2004 - The bus journey back to El Calafate

What we didn't realise when you get the bus to El Chalten is that on a clear day you can see the peaks of the Fitz Roy Range, incuding Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitz Roy, from a good 2 hours away.What we didn't realise when you get the bus to El Chalten is that on a clear day you can see the peaks of the Fitz Roy Range, incuding Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitz Roy, from a good 2 hours away....

Sep 10, 2004 - El Calafate, at last

We arrived here yesterday finally at about 4. El Calafate is here solely because of the Moreno Glacier. ... Our guidebook reckons that this is one of the few places in the world that gets it´s livelihood from a single tourist attraction.We arrived here yesterday finally at about 4.
