Friday 29th Nov Around El Calafate

A slow start as I recovered from what appeared to be a dose of food poisoning. Decided we would drive about 100km north up along the' route40'  the Pan American Highway, and try to see if we could get a good view of Cerro Fitz Roy.
The picture of this iconic mountain appears in most promotions of Patagonia. A wild and wind swept area as the sign post warns. We were not lucky enough to see Fitzy without cloud but had a great day never the less. Stopped for coffee at a very old roadhouse, La Leona that is famous for their lemon meringue pie and that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid holed up there for about a month back in 1905.
