Today is my last day in Calafate and although it had been a nice visit 4 days has been the perfect amount of time. I had a few small jobs to do in the morning which included cleaning the dog cages out and then I would have the rest of the day up until 4pm free. I chatted with Herman in the morning did my exercises and then got the last of my things together. At around 2pm Herman had agreed to take me into the city on his bike and on the way we stop at Ana's work ...

I was up early today anxious and excited for my trip to the Glacier - a feeling I havnt had so much lately on my travels. After breakfast I fed the four dogs, organized the two out the front on the chains and gave the medicine to the one out the back. I then took off down the road and had about a 10 minute walk to where I thought it would be a good place to hitchhike from.

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.

The plan today is to walk to the city after lunch, a...

Today is my first day in Calafate but I haven't really made a plan as yet as I have to wait to find out when Ana can take me out to her house. At around 9am I met Ana's two workers at the hospederia and joined them for breakfast of cake and sweet bread. Ana had to take off so I waited around for her; checking my emails, surfing the net and getting a bit of an idea what to do here in Calafate. At 1pm Ana was still not back so I walked into town to the supermarket ...
