• Buen Dia Caballeros

    6 febbraio, Argentina ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    I'm back in Argentina, so I'm showing off my mastery of Castallano, since we dont speak Spanish here. Not Buenos dias here, instead Buen Dia.

    We came across the border from Puerto Natales and stayed the 1st night in El Calafate., famous for the massive glacier nearby. Having seen it 3 times before, I don't go again, also because visiting is getting ever more expensive. So it's sleep and restock before we head off to El
    Chalten, part of the beautiful southern Andes, with the single most magnificent peak "Fitzroy". We have traveled by bus since a mixture of inflation, greed, and corruption (all 5 bus companies exactly the same price). The price of a taxi has increased from $50 to $180. It's doubled in the last two years alone. The increase in visitors us crazy. When we 1st came here 20 years ago, it was a village with one hotel and 3 bed and breakfasts. Now it's a town of over 20,000 with over 50 hotels and other accommodation.
