Puerto Natales to El Calafate

Today we leave Chile behind for good. We packed up our things after getting some laundry done last night after our hike. With not much to do in Puerto Natales, we walked to the bus station a few hours early and spent some time getting admin jobs done as well as looking at some trip planning. Then, it was time to get on our bus to El Calafate. After zigzagging in and out of Chile doe the last month and a half, it's nice to leave the country behind and move on completely to a new one.

The bus journey was delayed by a couple of hours, but overall it wasn't a bad journey. When we arrived, late, in El Calafate, we got to our hostel and thankfully Allan managed to work something out so that we could pay with card and didn't have to go back out to find pesos or exchange dollars (despite the amount for the night being less than $50, for ease of changing money, the hostel only accepted dollar bills of $50 or $100. Total opposite to what we've needed the whole trip!). The good news was we got it paid, and could sleep knowing we didn't have to deal with it in the morning. Czytaj więcej
