| This is how the locals barbeque their lamb. It takes 8 hours and tastes pretty much amazing. Parts of it turn into a sort of lamb crackling which tastes pretty good. |
More glacier news! We have now entered the southern ice field and glacier country. After growing tired of endless barren Patagonian Steppe we took a bus to Calafate, saving three days of desert cycling. There was two attractions for us in Calafate: The Perito Moreno glacier and celebrating the New Year. We stayed at a campground close to town which was populated almost entirely with cyclists! naturally conversations ensued and we had a great New Years eve cooking an asado (bbq) in the campground.

| Ben at the glacier. Again. We took at boat trip to get up nice and close to the ice falling off. Naturally, no ice fell off during our boat trip. |
The glacier was great, our arrival in Calafate coincided with the unexpected arrival of nice weather which we have been enjoying immensely. Suddenly jandals had to be dug out of the bottom of the panniers and our lack of sunscreen was mourned. Another highlight of Calafate was the local berry and towns namesake, which we enjoyed as overpriced ice cream. It was worth it!
