23/10 - El Calafate (us)

By Rita Hiraclidès, photos are here

The family woke up at seven am to eat a wonderful breakfast at our 5 star hotel and departed at 8 am. We arrived at the airport and started to embark only to be informed that the whole line of passengers of the plane was at the wrong door and we were suddenly moved.

We finally arrived at 11:40 am to meet our guide for the next three days under a shining sun. After Fernanda (our guide) explained our next couple days we got to the hotel and headed back out to eat 30 minutes later.

After two hours at the restaurant (Cocina) we went a few separate ways, most of the family ending near the Laguna Nimez, watching flamingos with binoculars. And so, after an hour of resting, most of the family went to 'tea time' hosted by the hotel. We then separated once again because most of our group went back into town for a little shopping.


They came back at 8:50 after having gotten lost and we then went to dinner, thirty minutes later than planned.

As usual, here is some pictures
