All anybody is talking about around Puerto Natales is how unseasonably warm it’s been these past few days. Its normally jacket weather but it’s been in the 80’s recently without the wind, a dramatic difference form my time here these past few years!
Today was a free day for the team to explore town a bit. Â A couple folks walked around, while a few of us rented bikes and ventured out a little further. We all picked up a few souvenirs, that much is certain.
The afternoon was spent putting the final touches on getting packed up and ready for tomorrow. We met up with our local guide, Tadeo, and had a quick briefing about the the trek.
Tomorrow looks like a little rain with some sun mixed in, which truthfully is probably better than the recent heat wave! We’ll take it as it comes,
The goal over the next couple days is to see Los Torres and the Silence Valley, a personal favorite of mine.
If you’re looking for an update on Michal’s bag, it arrived to Punta Arenas late this evening. We dispatched a driver to make the 7 hour round trip drive… Hopefully we’re able to get it in time. If not, he’s borrowed and bought enough to get by. Not a perfect situation but lemonade nonetheless.
That’s all for now. We’ll check in by sat phone tomorrow.
