You may have noticed on the previous pictures, the first night's sky did not look so good for the next day... So indeed, we woke up this morning with a tent absolutely soaked with water (it would not have been so much fun otherwise...). The night was also quite cold, I am glad I had taken my new sleeping bag. After a good hot coffee, we went to the next base camp. Two hours of walkin' in the rain later (singin', not so much), we made it to the second camp. Luckily, we had one hour without rain for lunch, and setting camp.
We then went without the bags for a 6-hour trek up the "Valle del Frances". About 100 vertical meters later, the rain had turned into snow (and obviously I was still wearing shorts, it dries way faster :-) ).
I saw countless avalanches, a couple of them really massive. (the next picture is from Miguel...)
At about 19h, we had a really good dinner (pasta for 4, just like the day before).

or turned into an 190cm long ice cube.
and as I said : a pair of shorts dry way faster than a pair of jeans...
I agree, a wet pair of jeans is the worst thing you could wear...
C'est bon d'avoir un peu de soutien...
Ça me fait plaisir...
Hi,
It seems Patagonia Spring told you welcome, with some snow falls... You will be happy to get back to a real warm spring in Buenos Aeres !... ;-)
Best regards Jean-Yves
Congrats by the way, you and Yannick have just pointed out the genius of La Fontaine...
Les extrêmes se touchent! Just viewing the photos, one might guess you were heading north, making your way past the Alps and on to the mountains of northern Scandinavia. Beautiful views. I'm sure Gustav is really sorry he had to stop at Valpo...
aha at last dad is number one ! We're gonna celebrate tonight ... Right dad ? :)
About that... => New poll!
Le dernière photo est assez rigolote cela dit :-)
