After not a lot of sleep again I got up early and made some breakfast; noticing that the weather was not looking so nice today. As I had not much to do I decided to go back to bed - one of the benefits of not having to go to work. After my brief sleep-in I helped Herman with his motorbike; he was trying to change oil but unfortunately the previous mechanic had rounded-off the bolt making it impossible to undo. In the afternoon I got a lift to town with Herman and went to visit Ana whilst Hernam got his bike fixed. I sent out a few emails and organized to stay an extra day in Calafate meaning I would take bus to Chalten on Saturday now. We then had to go borrow a helmet as tommorow I will go with Herman on his bike out to the Glacier instead of having to pay the $20 bus fee. Unfortunately when we arrived at the motorbike shop the guy did not have the helmet and could only bring in tommorow at 10am which was too late so he gave us the name of two other places that we could go and ask. Both places we went and asked at didn't have helmets and were not very helpful so now I was in the s*** as it was 9pm and I have no helmet and I havnt booked the bus meaning my only option is to try and hitchhike. We headed to the supermarket to buy some dinner and food for tommorow before making our way back out to the house. After putting the dogs away I had the most amazing hot shower as I was frozen to the bone from being on the motorbike in my shorts and shirt. Tonight we had a big feast of roast chicken and vegetables and very Argentinian like eating at 11pm. After a little Yerba Mate and organizing my stuff for tommorow I went to bed hoping I could awake early and attempt to hitchhike out to the Glaciar Park.
