Trekking in Fitzroy
After 4 days of travelling, we finally made it back into Argentina to El Chalten. We´ve spent hours on overnight ferries and buses through sunshine, torrential rain and snow. Some of the drive was particularly picturesque with snow capped mountains and bright blue lakes, whilst other parts were dull, grey and dreary.
We spent 7 hours today on a 20Km hike in the Fitzroy mountain range which was very beautiful. The weather took a turn near the end though and we had a bit of a "white out" meaning we had to turn back early. We did get to see the glacier though and some lovely mountain scenery.
Tomorrow, we travel on to El Calafate, our base for visiting the Moreno Glacier - a massive glacier on one of the most active ice fields on the planet. We can hike around it and take a boat trip to see it up close.
We´re really enjoying Patagonia - it has some of the most beautiful scenery we´ve seen in the world.

Looks like you've found a 'nuisance caller'.
Feels like winter has finally arrived here, but nowhere near as cold as what you've been going through. Rain is lashing against the window as I type this.
Wedding plans are still going ahead, still things to sort out and xmas only just around the corner.... hectic.
Off to Florida next week - my mum and dad tell me a cold front is expected, not good news!
Catch you later.
