We were awoken by a builder, building the other half of the house we were staying in.
The drive to El Chalton was only a couple of hours or so, and the roads were paved once we left Tres Lagos.
In the distance we could see the Fitzroy range of mountains looking up. We could also see Lago Viedma with its huge glaciar and icebergs floating. The wind was so strong that we could barely stand, but it was not cold.

At El Chalten we booked into a cabana, which was quite luxurious and headed off for a walk to view Cerro Torre. The views of the valley are good but the Cerro Torre itself was shrouded by cloud.
On the walk there was a monument to a careless walker who dropped a cigarette and caused a fire. Open fires are forbidden here.
We also saw a beautiful red bird.

We visited an internet cafe to catch up on the blog, but the connection is quite slow so we can't upload as many pictures as we would like.
