El Chaltén

In the morning we went to the bus station at the other side of the town to pick up Franzi. The rest of the day we spent preparing a 3 day hiking trip in the area. Machiel's air mattress had partially deflated throughout the night, so we also checked in the few outdoor shops in the town to ask if they could help with that. Sadly none of them had a bathtub, and neither did our hostel. The grocery shops were out of stock on some of the stuff we needed, like oat flakes, so we ended up walking the town 3 times to cross off everything on our shopping list. On the way Daniels sunglasses got run over by a bus, and after splitting up in groups to be more efficient, we all found oat flakes and returned with 2.6kg. Back at our tents, we used a garden hose to find the leak in the mattress, and Susanne ended up actually finding it, which was somewhat of a miracle. As a reward, we had dinner at the best vegan restaurant in town to stock up on vitamines for the next few days. They had an interesting way of serving the food.Læs mere
