On the 28th Yael landed and started her trip with me. I guess this blog now belongs to both of us :)
On the following day we took the tour to Perito Moreno, the crashing glacier. We saw it from afar for 3 hours and waited for parts of it to fall into the water while eating sandwiches. When parts of the glacier crashed down we were usually late for the camera and no photograph was taken. It was however very impressive.
Later that day we took a ferry to take a closer look at the glacier where we saw the parts crash down from a closer point of view, where we were told that about 30 people were previously killed by the ice falling down in the last 3 years (don't worry mom it was far away). In that cruise we finally took a good picture.
