december 6 - december 13

at december 6th we were heading to national park "los glaciares" in argentina and had a second overnightstay in el calafate. a super touristic place, which eva hated. but i had a calafate (a berry or kind of grape) in my icecream at our first stay, and an old indiolegend says, that you will come back to the place, after eating it. not the ice-cream, the berry! so we did, unfortunately in a bad hostel, but it was just a bed for one night.

next day we arrived at el chalten, starting point to mount fitzroy, were we did three more days of hiking. campsites were georgious and for free. eva and i climbed up to laguna de los tres, what was absolutely fantastic. the sky around the mountains cleared up, so we had a good view on top of the hill. next destination was camp angostino with more beautiful landscape.

we left the place towards el chalten with the first real hot sunny day in southern patagonia and evas food was hurting again. for supper, we had "bife de chorizo", what else. it was the very last evening of our common travel with andrea, who started next day at 6:30 a.m.. i missed the good-bye, snoring in deep sleep. we spent the next day in el chalten in a bad mood, cos eva was unable to move a lot. and we were expecting three-day-busride back to esquel, unfortunately with a 4 hours stop in our favorite town el calafate again.

at december 13th we arrived with "don ottos semi cama" in esquel, back from our hiking-experience and rented a cabana for three nights, cos we lost a piece of our heart at this place.
