3rd Feb..

We left early by bus for El Calafate - crossed the border into Argentina. This was a five hour trip through not very interesting countryside.  This is a very touristy town and has grown enormously in the past 4 years.  That evening Jo and I went to visit an Estancia - El Galpon del Glaciar.  It was a real tourist trap - not a working estancia - lots of Japanese tourists there!!  Not to be repeated.  El Calafate is on the shores of Lago Argentina and is the hub for the Parc Nationale Los Glaciares.
