Torres del Paine - day 2 - Spring

At breakfast, there was only one subject of conversation... How damn cold was the night. It was snowing in the morning at the camp. Thank you again to my sleeping bag, I slept non-stop from 9pm to 8am.

This day has been the longest one of all. Mainly because we did not have so much time to do the circuit. We walked about 9 hours (with the bags, this time)... and eventually made it to the last campground around 7pm. The weather was extremely windy, and still a bit cold, but way better than the day before.
The sceneries along the lake are breathtaking.

The base camp is the highest in altitude, which is perfect to get early to the "Mirador de las Torres", the most popular trek in the area (which can be done in one day as well).

For those who were wondering how we made it without water...

and the ghost of la fontaine told me this morning that turtles are stupid animals, why run ahead when you can be in the long tail ?

by the way, since you're bored, another beer-fueled-geek challenge : comments from the polls are not counted in the top ten. What a shame.

Je suis sur qu'en utilisant un filtre Brita, on a de l'eau aussi bonne que la tienne ;-)
