One of the advantages of waiting a bit before writing up the blog (what some may call procrastination), is that you can compare to what happened afterwards. And I can therefore say that El Chaltén is one of the most beautiful places in Argentina.

Yes, around a lake, not the lake. Because this specific lake that borders two countries has two names.

Two close up pictures today. In the morning we found out what made our transmission oil level low. A broken fitting (and an old previous fix) caused a small leak in the normally closed transmission box, which made the oil heat up too much and made a white light flash annoyingly on the dash board. We decided not to risk breaking the transmission and had the car towed to Coyhaique, Chile. A transmission oil change and a few new fitting parts (together with a full maintanance) got us on our way again.

But not before enjoying a nice lunch in the cosy town! The (South) Chilean specialty: raw fish with some refreshing stuff, called ceviche.

Even in Coyhaique, Chile, verloren maandag is Lost Monday!

And to make me feel even closer to home, they sell some fine golden liquids here.
