Speed O Post III

Just a quick post to let you know I´m still alive. I´m in El Calafate and tomorrow I go to the glacier at Perito Moreno.

Camera
Since I last posted I´ve spent an immense amount of time in internet cafes trying to upload more photos. Specifically of the Petrified Forest just outside Sarmiento - some photos are there, more to follow.

Wind
Nobody told me the wind blows all the time in Patagonia. I haven´t had a still day since I arrived but the sun is shining so it evens itself out.

Timewasting
Over the last couple of days I´ve spent a lot of time waiting. Waiting for bus connections, waiting to buy tickets, waiting for people to stop queue jumping. A lot of waiting (and a real waste of time)

Railway Museum
While waiting in Comodoro I went to their Railway Museum. Very small but with some wonderful artifacts. I have a photo of me in the cabin of a steam engine (non-working) - eat your heart out Den.

On being alone
Before I started this I was worried about being surrounded by people all the time but having spent two days not in a hostel and therefore away from other backpackers, I come to realise just how much I need to have like-minded people around me. Thank god for hostels.

Swaying
I haven´t slept properly for two days and as I sit here I´m swaying. More soon.
