OK, I survived the long bus ride by talking the whole way to a Swiss guy. I couldn't sleep- Im defo lacking in REM, or watch the movies cause I left it till the day before leaving for South America to get the glasses that I need for tv. Aparantly, you cant get glasses in 1 day. Who knew? All the spectacle wearers I suppose. Anyway I picked out two designer pairs that despite the bump in my nose dont look too bad and Paulie is going to get them to me via Johnners cousin, so that the many bus journeys ahead can become a bit more bearable.
Until then I could always fly, although I'll probably be home in 4 months if I do that cause my money will run out. Budgeting has been non-existent since I got here but starting next week, Im going to take more care. I have the impression that I am slightly off track when I see the other backpackers going to the supermarket to buy food while Im dining out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Today went to the Perito Moreno Glacier, which was amazing. We actually went on a boat right up close and saw large chunks of ice falling off which was spectacular. My current dilema is whether to go to the Fitz Roy Mountain tomorrow. If you do it in one day, it takes 4 hours each way on the bus and you have about 5 hours to hike around and take photos, provided the weather is clear and you can actually see anything. The problem is, Im kind of sick of hiking and scenery already and I feel just like relaxing tomorrow but everyone is horrified that Im considering not going to this famous montain cause it so beautiful, blah blah. It reminds me a bit of the cruise ships when I was so tired, I had to choose between seeing a city Id never been to before and getting a few hours kip. Its tough for me, I know!
