A wet night again.
Did some repairs to the shovel and drove further into the park. We
were trying to get to a glacier. The road as usual full of potholes
and the going slow.
John understood the Gendarme to tell us to be out within 5 hours. So
we drove to the glacier and had a quick look in the rain and
continued to the end of the road where the long walk to another
glacier starts. It had snowed over night and all the hills had a
coating, they looked pretty when touched by the shy sun. We decided to
drive out and find a camp closer to the main road so our trip back to
El Bolson would be shorter tomorrow.
However at the
Gendarme station a very angry guard came out telling us to stop.
Among much discussion we realised the sign we had tried so hard to understand
yesterday related to the times you could drive in or out of the park
or both.
We were stuck for
another 4 hours till we could travel out on the road.
