1 minute of sun

It was hardly raining at all when we woke up in the morning. Because we had dug paths around our tent to lead off the rain and put some twigs under our backpacks, we came through the night quite ok.

We decided it was way too soon to give up and we sat our goal to hike a steap path up one of the mountains for a good view. After about 15 minutes we started to break the tree line and it quickly became clear that we were on a foolish mission. Since we after all are some quite sane people we headed back down again to initiate plan B.

After having re-packed our gear to the big backpacks we first hiked 6km through the forrest in what sometimes can be described as challenging conditions (lots of mud and paths that had turned to rivers). Just before lunch we experienced the few minutes of sun the day was going to offer. Of course it was still raining though. still the scenery was amazing and the rain was actually not that bad. With wet feet we had nice lunch at a campsite located along the path.

We then hiked 11km to Las Torres where we have set camp. This piece of the trail was mainly outside the forrest which meant no mud and it turned out to be a very nice hike with some fantastic panoramas.

Tomorrow we really hope the weather will be better because we plan to hike far up the mountain but for it to make sense we can't have too many thick clouds blocking the view or rain pouring down to ruin the experience.
