We opted for the B & B even though we are back packing as we were told the Chalten would be closed! Some things are open but there's only 1 supermarket open and about 2 restaurants. We are in one of the 2 superior rooms. Great size, comfy bed, tv with dvds, well fitted bathroom and great breakfast. Perfect.

We stopped for a break and yes the river was steaming...because it was so cold - MINUS 8 at 9.30am. Even though this was a regular bus, the driver was great. We came across some guanachos and he stopped the bus so we …

I have no idea how they could have gotten lost particularly as they were on the trail back to the camp they claim to have spent last night at?!?! There’s one trail, a clear trail so they must have just turned and walked back at some point? Weird. Anyway, Christmas spirit and all & them being quite sweet I ...

... even de tijd maar willen graag voor donker hebben gegeten en in bed liggen.
Koken doen we lekker op de gaspit met water uit het riviertje een klein stukje verderop. Dat is hier allemaal drinkbaar. Recht van de gletsjer in de pan. De afwas doen we wel wanneer we terug in het hostel zijn! Vlug het bed induiken en een dutje doen.
We liggen goed en slapen toch niet heel veel. Astrid was haar oordopjes vergeten en dat scheelt een hoop. De wind maakt hier nogal ...
