The first 2 days the path is a bit too flat and we spend a lot of time in the wood. That make us a bit bored and we reel a bit disappointed because we expected much more spectacular hikes. Nevertheless we have the chance to meet great people from Awitzerland, Germany, Great Britain and Argentina with wich we enjoyed our evenings all along the tour.

...and, as well, a big part of the next day till to its front which finish into the Grey lake. There then glacier loose all the time enormous pieces that falls, producing na incredible noise, into the water and forming anourmous icebergs floating away.

and our next camp place agin in front of Los Cuernos (like during the bike days) but this time much much closer...

2211112424

 

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow we would like to climb up the Valle Frances to see some of the most impressve granite walls of tyhe park, but this evening is raining like a hell so we are really happy that the campsite is close to a very warm hut where we can have dinner with our hicker colleagues and drink a pair of beers and piscos trying to forget the cold outside...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here we are close to the high peaks, not really in perfect weather conditions but good enough to appretiate those amazing peaks!

So we sleep up to the valley thinking that the next morning, maybe, the weather will be even clearer...but one should never be too pretentious otherwise he risks to be punished...for example with an early morning snow tempest!

What's That?

Aspettando la partenza

Il resto passa in secondo piano. Il resto è già pronto o è solo questione di pochi dettagli.

Forse solo lo spirito aspetta ancora un pochino.

Tanto ancora ci lega a questa realtà per permetterci di essere con il nostro animo dall'altra parte del mondo.

Meglio così.

Si vive ora, adesso, in questo istante.

Il passato e il futuro sono solo ricordi e congetture che danzano nelle nostre teste.

E il presente arriverà...fra poco più di 5 giorni.

When we are travelling with a crazy woman...

The point is that Lum is a bit crazy... she's an idealist and a dreamer...maybe toooooo much...certainly even. So what's going wrong? Well, she lost motivation, she doesn't feel anymore the bike challenge... and when ahe loose motivation, she become very, very, very annoying. She start doubting and complaning aboiut evreything.... Bac is almost saturated. He want a clear decision from her part! Either she continue without complaining every hour, or she has leaves, or, at least, she has to propose something!!!! Therefore the 25th they take a big big and warm breakfast in the hut close to the campsite, they open the maps and they try to make the point of the situation. Next would be the cities of Calafate, then El Chalten and the Villa O'Higgings. From here they should start the Carretera Austral. This is around 1000 km or unpaved road! Beautiful, certain, but hard! Either Lum finds back her motivation or Bac doens't want to make it with her because it will be a torture for her and him! So she takes a while to think and finally she comes with the solution...a CRAZY solution! She has lost her motivation because the travel has lost his meaning in the moment in which we did the bus travel! So we have, at least, to go back to Punta Arenas and, at least, try to make all the path on the continent by bike! So the 25th in the afternoon they come back to this city. The 26th they take a day off as well and from tomorrow, the 27th, they will be again cycling! This time they will try to make all by bike and they hope in 20 days to reach the beginning of the Carretera Austral making the path describedin the article of the 25-26/11/11.

Hopefully the wind will reward their stubborness and craziness...
