Hitting the mountains

we could have used a couple of hours more sleep but the busses leave at 7.30. We had arranged with a buss company to pick us up outside the hostel but imagine out surprise when no bus showed up when it was supposed to. After an hours wain the very friendly woman who runs the hostel contacted the bus company and they arranged for a minivan to pick us up together with four other guys they apparently forgot as well.

After a 3h bumpy bus ride we arrived to Torres del Paine. TdP is said to be maybe the most beautiful national park is south america and so far we have absolutely no objections. All though we have nothing to compare with.

We took a catamaran to cross a lake and then hiked 11k to Grey glacier where we have set camp for the evening. Grey is one of the few glaciers that still maintain its size and it's amazing to look at the lake below that is all white with blue blocks of ice floating around.

The weather here is a bit funny. The wind is just brutal and simply never stop. We had mixed sun, cloud and some short showers during the day but after a fantastic evening it has started to pour down. We hope for some sun tomorrow to dry up the tent that is getting wetter by the minute.
