I had to get this because it was called Crepes banana, crema con baño de chocolate. Baño??? I was curious to see what I would get. Would there be a little toilet of chocolate??? Clearly, no little toilet. Ally said it meant bathed in chocolate. Well, okay…would have been fun to have a tiny little toilet bowl for the chocolate…just sayin’.
After lunch, we said our “not-goodbyes”. I’m sure I will see them again. Ally and I already have a plan to do a ride in Oregon together.
I had a chat with a guy who asked about my bike. His English wasn’t great, and my Spanish is even worse, but we managed!
Alex and Markus wanted to go straight to the Supermercado. I wanted to go to the Reserve to see if I could see the flamingos up close. And, I wanted to go to the El Calafate sign.
Not wanting to ride on the main road that we’ve been on many times, I rode over a block. I may have ridden the wrong way on a one way street…but I rode by a golf course, and a fancy hotel. How one plays golf in this wind is beyond me!
Once I got to the promenade, the wind was incredibly strong! Still, there were a number of people attempting to bike. I saw a bunch of horses, and the flamingos were in the water, but still far away.
Still too far.
I finally made it to the El Calafate sign.
There’s unloaded Billy.
At one point when I was riding to the sign, a wind gust was so strong, I thought my Buff had blown off. But then I realized it was just my hair blowing.
I turned back toward town, and coasted to the German bakery. I bought empanadas for lunch at the Glacier tomorrow, and for dinner when we get back. Then I worked my way up to the supermercado.
La Anomina is a chain. It’s definitely the largest mercado we’ve seen in Argentina (and since Coyhaique in Chile). I was able to finish up my resupply. They even had Mantecol bars!!! I bought 4. Alex and Markus were still there when I got there. We rode back “home” together.
Tonight we are going to dinner with Caroline for one last time, and Matias and Camilla too. It’ll be fun!
