Drive to Coyhaique

It was absolutely freezing when we woke up this morning and the tents were all soaking wet with the amount of condensation and moisture in the air.  We had no choice but to pack them away wet.

We started an hour later today than we had been used to, so it was tents down at 6.45, breakfast at 7.15, and departure at 8am.  Breakfast was fried egg sandwiches again, but there was some nice fresh melon and some bananas, too.  There was plenty of melon left over, so I filled one of our plastic boxes for later.

With a last look at the lake, we were on our way, continuing our drive south on the Carretera Austral towards Coyhaique.  For the first part of the journey, we were still in Queulat National Park.  The scenery was stunning.  It's definitely an area that's geared up for camping.  It would be lovely to bring Bertha here and spend a lot more time exploring the region!Read more
