The Glacier

---

Will they just let us have a lay in, one of these days? Another 8 am bus, but as i'm travelling with spaniards we don't go to bed until nearly 2! Anyway, today we were on the "alternative tour" which meant we took the dirt roads instead of the tarmac! On the plus side we did see about 10 condors beside the road. A hike ALONG the lake towards the glacier, then lunch in front. There's always something moving, occasional huge towers collapsing, but more often a small piece hitting the water with the sound of a gunshot. After lunch we took a cruise on the other part of the lake and saw 3 colossal pieces break off - and the rapid shot on my camera chose not to work 😞 the big ones go under water for about 3 minutes before coming back up as an iceberg. The tarmac was very welcome on the way back - I think we all slept!

When was the last time you camped in sub zero temperatures? You don't tend to sleep so well!
