We all woke up today aching with sore muscles from yesterdays walk! Still amazed that we did it. With the soreness of our bodies and the crappy weather (rain and plenty of clouds), we decided to take the sensible or should I say the lazy option of a short two hour, 4km hike, Chorrillo del Salto, instead of our originally planned six hour hike. Probably a good idea considering Reens and Devs are injured. With the rain and dense clouds, El Chalten looked complete...

El Chalten 'smoking mountain' is Argentina's self-proclaimed national trekking capital. Set at the confluence of two rivers, with granite spires of Monte Fitz Roy (3405m) and Cerro Torre (3102m). Alarm set for 6.30am its an early start not even daylight yet. It's trekking day! As we arrived late last night and we were too scared to explore ghost town we were on an early morning supermarket hunt to stock up for out hike. Unfortunately everything is closed at 8...

Second day of glaciers : ) this time it's from a 10 hour luxury boat. Here's us all layered up with every piece of clothing we own, prepared for another day out in the cold, when the boat itself has full blast heating on. We look like muppets! We stopped over at three different glaciers, each with different characteristics. The second glacier looked amazing, there was this one part where it transformed from black mountain terrain into blue ice glacier. Str...

5.30am alarm : ( today's the day were all excited for, our minitreking tour. All our thermals, gloves, hats and scarfs cone out of our backpacks today! It's freeezing outside. Finally given into my fear of drinking foreign milk- my first bowl of cereal! Felt like a school girl today we all had to make a packed lunch for our trip, butter and jam sandwiches is as far as my culinary skills go! As we left it was pitch dark and snowing, the town looked like an imag...

After 2 hours of sleep, waking up at 3am was a major struggle for all. Really sad to leave Beunos Aires and our 'hotel'. I think i could of possibly stayed for a few more nights but any longer and my body would collapse from the crazy nighlife and odd sleep patterns. Reena our grandma was ready to go, but hey we didn't do bad for a bunch of 25-26 years old. Taxi ride to the airport was uber uncomfortable, try squashing in 4 girls with 4 large backpacks and 4 da...
