Perito Moreno glacier was stunning and freezing. It was a beautiful blue colour and bits kept breaking off making thundrous noises. Having not seen a glacier before I was suitably impressed. We then got the bus from El calafate to Torres del Paine where we spent one day going around the whole park looking at Lake Grey and its glacier and 'Los Cuernos' and 'Las Torres' mountains which were imposing and covered in snow. Day 2 we did a 20k up to the Torres and back. Brilliant. Not having time to do the full 5 day hike we headed upwards to Puerto Montt, port town in Chile, not very exciting place and the hostel we stayed in was shabby to say the least!
In the morning we caught an 8hr bus to Bariloche where we were rewarded for the long travel by oodles of the most amazing chocolate. We raided the chocolate shop street and had a big feast while we went to the cinema there. Bariloche is a town which looks v much like an Alpine ski resort so mostly sells chocolate and ski wear. Its the big skiing/snow boarding resort and we celebrated that by doing a snow luge thing down the mountain. Great stuff. Running out of time in internet cafe so will continue later! xxx
