So....we woke up at 1pm today after a night of partying till 4am....sat up and got ready for a day of rock climbing. Both of us put on our one piece suits (stretch/tights) and headed into the mountains. We were the only 2 with our guide and we both did 7 climbs to around 10 meters high. Tenielle invented a new rock climbing move called the "Kneel Stepp", and our guide thought we looked like we were climbing in our long underwear. And all we could keep saying and singing is "Lean Back, Lean Back" as we repelled down the rock...Tenielle also entered the circle of trust by belaying our guide down the rock face. All in all a good day. We are now back at the hostel and getting ready to do it all again tonight....dinner at midnight and then dancing and drinking till dawn. Maybe some horseback riding tomorrow....and of course another ham and cheese sandwich. We are in the process of trying to send some pics....stay tuned!
Eating Parrillas
Jolene ordered the steak with trimmings and ended up with an assortement of random meats...that blood sausage was good eh?
The 19 hour bus ride
comfy seats, bad food in plastic, and a spanish book..what else do you need for a full day bus trip. we will say our male bus attendant was very good, he brushed his teeth every 2 hours
The suits
okay, so our limited wardrobe forced us to wear matching long underwear suits while rock climbing...very versatile behind us is one of the rock faces that we climbed...you can get a full 140 hip flex... [more]
Our Rock Climbing Guide
Very rustic....but very fun....he even understood our jokes. We taught him the song "Lean Back" because every time we got to the top he would tell us to Lean Back to repel down...
Hiking down the mountain after rock climbing
What a view....kinda looks like Vancouver. On the other side of the mountains is Chile.
