On the Road - Hostel Cooking

Yeah so, on the road we stay in hostels for about $AR50-60 each per night. Not a bad price with the option to cook in their kitchen, we can save cash and cook for ourselves. The first hostel, there was about 4 other couples also cooking in the same kitchen at the same time as us... with 6 cooking burners, pots with no handles, no potholders, no spices, one chopping block and one knife.
I froze.
Marcel had to cook and I prepared the beer to be drunken with dinner :)

Penguina - Rio Gallegos


We have seen the living and breeding place of the Magellan penguins. They make this crazy sound to talk to each other. I hope you can hear it in the video... although you might hear more of the wind instead of penguin calls.

We were lucky to be in the right spot at the right time. During December, the penguins lay their eggs and make lots of little furry penguin babies. You can see the babies in their nests, though the daddy protect them and tries to cover the babies so that you cannot see them in the nest.

It was amazing. I had the biggest smile on my face the whole time.

Perito Moreno



The most beautiful glacier I've ever seen in my life. You can hear the crackling of the ice and see bits of the glacier falling off into the icy waters. The bright blue colors of the glacier are trapped gases within the ice and snow.
