Today I start the last leg of this journey on my own and leave Liang and Susan behind. I´m heading back to El Calafate on a bus at 1pm where I´ll stay there for one last night to catch my flight to Iguazu the following day. They, on the other hand, will stay here another night and continue exploring the surrounding area. I wish them good luck with the winds we`re experiencing this morning. The winds are so strong that the roof over my head is breathing in and out. And that´s no small roof!
For those wondering, I slept like a baby and let my travel mates go on their early hike to capture the sunrise over Fitz Roy. They woke up at 5:30am and got there an hour early where they almost froze to death waiting for the sun to make a late appearance. How Susan managed to get up so early remains a mystery to me. I could tell she was exhausted when she started talking to me exclusively in Chinese and for a brief moment couldn´t mentally switch back to English. To make matters worse the sun did not cast any beautiful orange like colors like those we captured at Torres del Paine. Win some lose some I guess. The mountains remind me so much of Tintin in Peru that I always expect to run into him and his little dog Milou on one of those long winded trails.
All right time to split. Ciao

You were wise to stay in bed! It sure doesn't sound like the most restful vacation, but you've seen some beautiful things. Can't wait to see your pics. If only a photo could convey all those smells you've experienced. With the French nose I'm sure you'll be able to describe them from memory. "And that one smelled like my first-grade teacher, who loved her own pit odor."
