This place is a town full of chocolate shops, grill bars and things made from wood. Biggest highlight is that there are lots of busses to take you somewhere else..
Good things
Trip to Moreno glacier included a scheduled stop at a bar in the mountains full of happy goats
Estancias need 4 acres per sheep to stop the uprooting all the grass. Hence massive farms or large gardens with 1 wooly pet.
Glacier moves at 1m per day and falls off into the lake with a thunderous noise until you try and take video, then it just waits...
The glacier forms an ice bridge where it crosses the lake and meets the land on the other side.
Did not have to stay at the $900 per night hotel overlooking the glacier!
Our boat trip in front of the glacier was delayed while the boat had to lassoo a couple of icebergs and drag them out of the way of the landing dock. Crowd provided much encouragement to the rope swinging sailers
Renault 12 appears to be the 70s car of choice for Calafate
Al found an 'all you can eat' steak and chinese food restaurant. Quite a combination but we've given it a couple of goes.
Bad things
Can still only get around 50 GBP per time from the ATM and most of them have stopped working. Will be trading beads soon...

Loved the video of Becky feeding
