We have finally put up some more photos for your amusement! They are of Bariloche and our trip to the glacier. We chose to do a mini trek on the glacier and it was fab. First we went to the balconies which have been built in front of the glacier, and whilst we were there we saw huge chunks from the face of the glacier fall off, it was very exciting just like you see on TV documentaries! Next we took a boat which takes you close to the face of the glacier and got to look up at it from below, it is 200ft high so quite impressive. Cold and windy i might add, but worth it. We docked on the other side to do our trek. First they fitted crampons to our shoes and we got kitted up in all our cold weather gear, hats and gloves etc and off we went in our single file line onto the ice. It was excellent, so weird just being surrounded but crevices, and clear water pools and sink holes. It was a bit nerve racking at times, as teh wind was so strong and we were near very deep holes and large drops but it was brilliant fun. They finished the trip with a whisky on the rocks, literally breaking ice of the glacier and putting it in our glasses. That is how all tours should end i think! Anyway that done and ticked off we are leaving Patagonia tonight and flying to Buenos Aires. Back to a big city and warmer climates hopefully! Speak soon xxx
