Torres Del Paine National Park

---

Yesterday I took a public bus from Puerto Natales to the entrance of Torres Del Paine national park, My intention is to walk the W-trak which takes 3-4 days.
From the main entrance there was a 15 minute minibustransfer to the base of the mountain.
Fit for fight and ready to go! Backpack and daypack and walkingsticks and terrible conditions which I noticed during the day.
According to the map there was a moderate 9 km walk to Tres Torres - Three Towers, a magnificent scene - what the map did not show was that you also had to climb some 800 meters ! Not to mention but on top of that there was a fierce wind of 39 m/s - that is 140 km/hour !!
I finally made it and it was worth it !
On the way back there was a mountain lodge in halfway where I intended to overnight but guess what, that was fully booked ! So back to the valley - to a hotel, with spa and massage! This was a force major - I had to bend the rules of Laihia-Travels.
In a couple of hours I will continue my hiking.

Morjens, Tomi Walker, snygg hatt du har. Det ser otroligt fint ut, vilken upplevlse du måste ha. Fantastiska bilder, hoppas spa och massagen gjorde gott. Men Tomi, presentera dig inte som Tom from Finland, kan bli en annan sorts massage som inte hade väntat dig. Du kan kalla dig " ´Keravan kauhu " speciellt när du har snaggat hår !!! Vet ej hur man översätter det till spanska, försök med diablos de la kerava kanske !!! Här är mörkt och kallt, litet under noll, på med vinterdäck .... fy fan. Är avundsjuka på din resa, hälsar vargarna från sundet.
