If I ever designed a town whilst drunk there´s a fair chance it would end up like El Calafate. It makes no sense. It´s a postmodern hotchpotch of architectural styles - Icelandic log cabin meets eighties-esque retro chic (very un-middle-of-nowhere, darling). It´s surrounded by mountains in the middle of what is essentially a desert. About half the roads haven´t been finished, there´s horses tethered to roundabouts, there´s a quad bike shop on the High Street and there´s more steak bars than clothes shops. It´s very ace. 
And to top it off this is the view from the hostel... (I Keu Ken, if you were wondering)
So, last time I wrote I was in Buenos Aires, but (at the risk of rubbing your wintery noses in it) it was well too hot for me. It took me less than 48 hours to be stupidly extravagant and buy flights to Patagonia. Three hours and I´m still in the same country - what´s that about? Last time I got a three hour flight from London I ended up in Africa. That´s a different continent, right?
Highlight from the flight: the air hostess was handing out ham sandwiches. Guy next to me asked if there was a vegetarian option. The hostess looked at him with derision and took the sandwich away.
Right, I´m off to find a steak...

How Rude! No veggie option?? I hope he got a refund on the price of an inflight meal.
Glad you're having fun with the steaks tho!
