Before posting about Calafate I want to start by recommending that no one ever take a 24 hour bus ride. Yes it may save you money, but you may loose your sanity as I almost did. The bus ride from Ushuaia to Calafate includes a short 10 mile stint in Chile for which you must stop 4 separate times, 1) Argentina exit customs, 2) Chile entry customs, 3) Chile exit customs and lastly 4) Argentina entry customs again, followed by a freezing cold ferry ride across the Straight of Magellan before connecting in the Rio Gallegos’ bus stop.
The entirely unpaved road and subsequent bumpy ride made it impossible to read, sleep, or even think. The closest I can describe the 24 hours as, is purgatory. The following is a process flow of the Roman Catholic understanding of the afterlife and purgatory’s involvement, offered by Wikipedia, who else?
Well, I must have needed a soul cleansing.
