Time March(es) on!

This has been a stay of two halves.  Our first day was one of two relatively gentle walks (2 hours each) mainly in bright sunshine and friendly terrain. 
Today, however the winds started up but it was still not cold and so we ventured out on our planned hike to the entrance of the park, 7.5km away.

We set off with sun and a strong breeze at our backs, but on leaving the hosteria, we turned right and it became all uphill and the sun went in.  Some two hours later, the bridge to the park entrance was still not in sight and as rain was threatening and the gales howled, we decided it was best to turn around and hike back.  This time it was a strong wind and rain in our faces, but at least it was downhill. Thankfully familiar sights came into view especially our hosteria albeit well in the distance.  We reached home three hours later for a well deserved lunch and an afternoon of relaxing. 

Tomorrow is another transfer but with a reasonable start time of 9am.  Our flight is not until 2pm which indicates just how long the distances are in Chile.
