El Chalten

Major tourist attractions can be a major rip-off. Case in point El Calafate glacier, where the Argentine government insists on charging NZ $40 for entry. Not to be fleeced, we've gone up to El Chantel instead where there is a free glacier we'll visit tomorrow.

Instead walked to the bottom of Fitzroy Mountain. Don't know much about it, why it's named etc but the views were nice.

Boca playing arch rivals River Plate tonight, currently losing 1-0. Might try and stream using more cafe WiFi.

Also (somewhat inevitably) every accommodation here is either booked out or priced to the heavens. May be a night in the car..
