Puerto Montt to Bariloche

Never ask for "Grande" papa fritas in Puerto Montt, unless
you are a family of 8.

We were going on a long bus journey, so decided to go to this cafe for some lunch. As we have not had proper papa fritas for months, we ordered a Grande portion to share....we should have guessed something was up, when it took 4 people to carry them to our table (ok slight exaggeration). And to make it even funnier, we only ate a few as we were stuffed (think our stomachs have shrank, but I am sure the staff ate the leftovers)

As you can see, we are back in Argentina. This time in the south in Bariloche and heading to El Calafate to try and see the glaciers. Some of the roads are already closed with the snow, so we can only try. We could not really do it from Chile as it meant a 4 night boat trip, which Debo said NO to. She does not like boats at the best of times, never mind at night and in the dark. I think the trip in the jungle was the final straw. Anyway Argentina is a hell of a lot cheaper than Chile, so it is good to be back.

IB, that's a rotten photo! It makes it look like you're having a healthy green salad, while Debo eats HER burger and fries.

Glad you're still having a great time.
