Week 11, Part 2. Going up North

There are so many English people in the hostel in Bariloche! Most of them are from Oxbridge. I love their English! I wish I heard more English like that when I was in the UK.
I also meet so many people from Gloucestershire: Nailworth, Cheltenham (Heatherley), Stroud, Corencester. Feels like all of them just followed me to South America!
Autumn, although beautiful, still depressing: cannot change my European state of mind here. I have decided to start 'yet another new life' (I started every 3 months or so I think?). I need to occupy my brain, it begs for work.

Week 11, Part 1. Lakes, Rain And Chocolate

It rained all night from Sunday to Monday! Although it was nice in cosy sitting in front of fire place in El Bolson, I wanted some action (had enough of sitting!) and escaped to Bariloche hoping I could do some hiking/rock climbing/paragliding there.

Week 10. Part 2. Lake District

I have decided to do 2 posts a week, so ou have less to look through and everyone knows that I am still alive. Did not succeed on this much: was too lazy.
I became very lazy somehow: prefer to stay inside and do nothing, rather than go hiking or cycling, or whatever. I do not write in Spanish anymore, I think in English, because it is easier to find words than in Russian (and als lack of practice).
Also this 'doing nothing thing' makes me bored. I was so excited a night I left Puerto Madryn! Staying in one place for more than 3 nights is boring, I need to move, I need something to be hapening. Not being on the road is boring.
From the other side, I miss some sort of normality in my life, habits, something I can do on daily basis, I miss routine. I am a mess as usual.

Week 9. Crossing Patagonia (Yes, Still There - It Is Huge!)

I am slowly going North in Patagonia, and it is getting warmer and warmer, but the landscape does no change: steppe, and steppe again.

Week 8. Out Of Service

Tuesday, 18/03. Puerto Natales
We came back from the trek on Monday, saw lotls of guanacos (southern version of lamas with long eye lashes) on the way when were not sleeping. Interestingly, have not met a lot of wild life in the park, just another campers going in both direcions. We actually were walking as a huge group with other people who started W-circuit at the same point as us. Now we keep meeting these people in town, feels like we know everyone around!
