A bit of hiking and a lot of pizza

Woken up by the sun that turned our tent into a sauna, we had breakfast with a nice lake view. Close to our camping was the hiking trail to the top of Cerró de los Cristales. The complete return hike was supposed to take 7 hours and involved climbing 1000m altitude. We didn't even try and just gave ourselves 3,5 hours so that we would have some nice view but still be back on time to get lunch at the camping restaurant before their kitchen closed. The hike was steep and the wind was strong at times. We got sweaty and tired but the views were nice. And during our deserved snack break to enjoy the view, we accidentally found some ant nests...

Back on the camping we got some very tasty filling pizzas. When we ordered 4 pizzas the owner walked back to us to warn us that 4 would be too much. Convinced, we went for 3, and we couldn't even finish that but it wasn't bad to bring some evening snacks with us anyway. Then we relaxed till our bus arrived to bring us back to El Calafate. Daniel and Machiel decided to go for another ice cream there because they craved it ever since the last one 3 days earlier. At the hostel we didn't do much besides packing for another early bus the next morning.Läs mer
