Pinguinos II, bad washing, etc.
What a last few days! I haven´t been able to get on the Internet for too long because the connection here sucks. So unfortunately I can only give a quick rundown. Here goes.
Went to a penguin reserve in Puerto Madryn and was very impressed with the Magellanic penguins walking around the place, curious with the tourists as much as we were with them. Going into the reserve, you drive thru and must be careful to not run any of them over. You get within touching distance of them and some of them are really brave and come up to your feet. I got chased by one and another annoyed one bit my shoe.
Driving in Argentina is kinda crazy. Not as much as in Buenos Aires,but there are practically no rules here whatsoever. I drove for two days without incident (thank god), but really, in Puerto Madryn there were times in which I would just press the accelerator down and just go. On the freeway, we were flying at 150 km/h...really exhilirating. The German guy sharing the rental with me was really pushing me...
Last day in Puerto Madryn was drama. Got my laundry done but they accidentally washed a permanent marker with my clothes! So now I´m half smurf. I´d love to share more but I just want to forget about the whole thing.
I´m in El Calafate right now,about toleave on a plane for Ushuaia which is at the southern tip of Argentina. In the last few days I´ve visited a glaciar and watched slabs of ice crack off and tumble into the water, hiked to another glaciar and ate glaciar ice from a lake and seen the truly magnificent and imposing Fitz Roy mountain range (part of the Andes).
More soon!
