El Chaltén to El Calafate

Blog post for Wednesday, 25 October, 2023

Today we retraced our steps from El Chaltén back to El Calafate. The wind has been blowing incredibly hard the whole day and Mount Fitz Roy was hidden in the clouds.

Mount Fitz Roy is in the clouds somewhere
We put our suitcases in garbage bags to protect them from the dust
The wind was ferocious for the whole three hour drive

We played cards for a while when we got here and later went to dinner at the same place we ate last time we were in El Calafate, Parrilla Don Pichon. The power was out but they were running a generator for the essentials. This time each couple shared a lamb platter. It is what Bonnie and Brian had last time. Oh my was it devine! The best lamb I have ever eaten.

Because the power was out Don Pinchon didn’t look open.
