Day 312
Off to Montevideo, Uruguay - THANK GOODNESS!
We´re sitting in the airport in Buenos Aires waiting for our flight.....
It was our last day in El Calafate today..and i won´t be missing the hostel we´ve been staying at that´s for sure!
There´s no bathroom or even a sink in the room, no mirror, the bathroom below the long dangerous narrow stairs which has no toilet paper and no soap, piddly breakfast, has these jutting out shelves that i constantly hit my head on..and to make the matters worse, this morning i woke up with bites all over me..bed bugs?
The list goes on and on...
Ohh..it´s just a awful and very expensive hostel! I definitely won´t be recomending this to even my worst enemy! I think the only hotel that compares with this standard is the dingy hostel we had in Paris..but at least we were able to move to alternative accomodation..here we were stuck as the whole town is overbooked as it is!!!!
Accomodation really does make a difference to an experience. But it´s not everything of course..but it can alter the mood of a person i tell you!!!!
But it´s been an amazing experience, and one of the most memorable of our trip..and nothing can take that away..even crummy accomodation..
The ice trekking and seeing the spectacular Perito Moreno Glaciar is a chance of a lifetime! ANd one we are glad we came and saw!
The taxi came and picked us up for the airport at 10am...in readiness for our noon flight to Buenos Aires via Bariloche...and here we sit..and wait at Buenos Aires Airport..in the computer lounge...until 6.15 when we take off to Montevideo in Uraquay....
Just as well we´ve got gripping books to read - especially after i had to suffer reading one of Danielle Steele´s books at the last airport...(she went on and on and didn´t get to the main theme for ages..book called HRH..don´t read it..the only thing good about it was the fact that i learnt that Róyals don´t have have a surname on passports!!!)
Anyway..my book now is called , Vanish by Tess Gerritsen...it´s GOOD! And Greg´s reading yet another saga of Wilbur Smith´s!
More adventures await us..will let you know if we make it....hehe
