We arrived back in Argentina and the first stop was the supermarket to pick up some steak for dinner…only A$15 for 1kg fillet! while there we met a couple Martin and Lauren from South Africa tha had been on the road for 8 months. We had been looking forward to meeting some other bikers and it was great to hear about their travels and pick up some tips. We were all heading south so planned to meet up down the road.
Ruta 40 highway south was a spectacular ride and really enjoyble to share with some other bikers. Most of it is a decent dirt road but the never ending side wind makes for a fairly tiring ride.
The first stop was El Chalten, a rapidly growing tourist town at the northern end of the ice fields. We enjoyed some free camping to help get the budgets back on track. We did a short hike to check out one of the glaciers and were lucky enough to see a massive chunk of ice break off and crash down the mountain side…we were luckily well out of the way. 
More of Ruta 40 to El Calafate and more bikers in the group that we met through Martin and Lauren…big cook up and a couple of days rest are in store.

Hi Guys
I'm having so much fun following your blog and googling info on areas of your travels. At last I can be a student rather than a teacher!! YEAH
The scenery is exceptional.
Love
