Torres Del Paine

We´re back!

We got back yesterday evening from the national park - it was our 10th day there. The walk was really really good and we both really enjoyed it, we took it fairly slowly most of the time not doing too much in a day, although one day of 30km was pretty long! I was fine all the way really, didn´t get any aches or pains and Becky was fine most of the time but last few days got a few foot pains. Pretty good for 9 days of trekking with big packs!

The sights were amazing, especially the glacier as it seemed to go back forever and was huge! The Valle de Frances was also v cool with big mountain covered in little glaciers on the left and the massive rock towers on the right.



The weather was very very varied (as i think is normal in patagonia). We only had one day where we had to sit out bad weather in the tent which isn´t too bad although we did walk through a lot of rain (and snow). The wind was also pretty insane, especially in the nights and we were very glad Becky´s tent is so good, we saw quite a few tents snap or get torn apart and blow away but we were always fine.

All in all a pretty good adventure - especially the well earned pizza in town at the end!
