Getting to el Calafate

We flew to Ushuaia.

We took a bus to el Calafate (also in Argentina).

We had NO idea we would pass through Chile on the way to el Calafate (across the Magellan Straight, believe it or not).

But.

This meant we had to throw away nearly ALL our food. I had just gone shopping in Ushuaia in order to avoid the more expensive stores in el Calafate!!

Thankfully, the busdriver took pity on us and literally helped us hide our bag of groceries, moving it around under his jacket as customs police took a peak through the bus.

Thank you, bus driver.

And, yes, I officially visited Chile.
