A decent feed!

After what felt like a full day of professional waiting, we’ve made it to El Calafate!
You know the kind of day… waiting for transfers, waiting at the airport, waiting to board… and then watching the classic in-flight entertainment — fellow travellers attempting to squeeze “definitely-not-7kg” suitcases and backpacks into overhead lockers. Always good for a chuckle 😄
By the time we arrived and checked into Sierra Nevada Hotel, energy levels were low and motivation to explore even lower. So, we did what any seasoned travellers would do… we looked next door.
And wow… what a find!
Pura Vida Restaurant — remember that name.
Honestly, this was hands down the best meal we’ve had in weeks.
We kicked things off with bruschetta and a beautiful pumpkin soup — both packed with flavour. Then came the mains… a rich, hearty beef casserole for me and a comforting potato pie that just hit the spot after a long travel day for Kim.
Everything was fresh, full of flavour, and exactly what we didn’t realise we’d been missing.
Sometimes it’s not the big attractions or bucket-list moments… sometimes it’s just a cracking meal, a warm place, and not having to walk too far 😄
El Calafate… you’re off to a strong start.Read more
