Puerto Natales t0 El Calafate
Today we went to the Perito Moreno glacier. Its dimensions are 4 to 5 km wide and 50 m high. But only when you stand there you can picture it what that means. It is massive and the ice shines in deepest blue.
This just being an example. Patagonia has to offer so much: I like the wide valleys, the polished mountains and hills. The forests are just amazing as they are like rain forests in Alaska just with different trees. And we have plenty of time to see as the days are very long: The sun probably only sets after 10pm. Well, there is a back draw to this beauty - as always. It's the constant wind that blows and cools you down a fair bit. At times it tears on your cloths at others it's just a breeze. These winds are probably why the weather is so unpredictable, too. It may be raining cats and dogs in the morning and be bright sunny in the evening. Dark grey clouds on your left and deep blue sky on your right. Seeing it form the sheltered cabin of the car it's hard to believe why one wouldn't want to live here. Getting out of the car blows the reasons into your brain - and we have summer hee and the sun's burning down (with some side effects on my loosely covered scalp).
As we have seen the main attraction of El Clafate we only spend one night here. Dinner's steak again. At a restaurant that almost looks like a canteen, but the meat is delicious - top three ranks.
