Escaped the bad weather we arrived in El Calafte. It was a short trip with the bus, only six hours! First we had to book a hostel at the terminal and after a short snack we walked to our accommodation.
At the afternoon we walked to the “Laguna Nivez” and on the way we saw a cattle auctioning. For an Austrian farmer it was nice to see =) I thought about if i should buy a cow for less than 100€ =) but it would be difficult to travel with a cow =)
The “Laguna Nivez” is a wonderful place to observe birds There are more than 100 kinds of birds around the Laguna.
On the way home the cattle auctioning was over but a horse race has started. It was awesome to see the Gauchos on their horses. A woman has won the race, really great!!
After that “animal day” i decided to eat for dinner a steak =) I think it was the cattle of the auction that i didn´t buy, shit happens =) =)
The next day was the highlight of our stay in El Calafate, the Perito Moreno Glacer. The Glacer has a high about 70 meters and is one of the few which is growing. We even saw how the glacier has calved. amazing – oag – muy lindo
Before bedtime Sarah came to our Hostel and we have granted her asylum (we met here in Ushuaia, and we saw us every time at different places =) we had the same route). We watched a soccer game with a good cold beer, It was a friendship game, Argentina against Uruguay, Argentina won =)
It was a great time in El Calafate! Next stop: El Chalten =)
