• Into the Andes Mountains

    February 14 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    I joined a coach trip that was going into the Andes mountains and included a picnic
    The mountain road was winding and steep and my ears kept popping ,briefly, I also felt bit sickly.So I was glad to reach the 1st stop at El Yeso ,where there is a beautiful lake.We were.then told we could take the 1.5km walk to see where.the lake stretched for 6miles.....and we would be at this stop for 90mins .....not my thing at all....Ienjoyed the view for a bit and then mooched round to the other side of the lake,killing time
    Our next stop was lunch ! This was confusing ,as i thought we were having a picnic.....so killing another hour,waiting for people to have lunch
    Next we called a a quirky house / shop that sold coffee and chocolate
    The final stop was a traditional Chilean dance show and the picnic.......which only bits of cheese ,bits of fruit and tiny crackers....plus wine
    The dancing was enjoyable to watch .
    A day with some enjoyable parts but not my favourite
    On my return to hotel ,i packed my things ready for the morning
