Day 5 Campamento Paso - Paine Grande

After a good night sleep we have set up on a hour at for our longest distance trek in Torres. The first part of the journey led us around the Glaciar Grey where we could see a huge chunk of the ice broken of from the main field. To get to the Refugio Grey, we had to cross to really scary bridges. They were hanging over a deep valley with water from the glacier running in it. With the Refugio Grey that is official part of the trek W started a huge amount of people and more crowded part of our journey. The Fanta from the mini market was very sweet and exactly what we needed. The second part of the journey was full of wind. There was a point where I literally could not walk any further. I had to lower down to the ground and wait for Petr to help me. He happily done so after he filmed my struggle. The weather forecast was predicting a heavy rain from 3 p.m. so we picked up a pace and got on with it. It started to rain just as we have approached the camp on a huge meadow. The check in took ages and in the meantime the rain did really pick up. We have decided to cook dinner first and wait for the rain to stop. When I had a feeling the time came, we ran out to get set up. Unfortunately it didn't really stop raining and we had to built our tent the other way around. Little we knew what was coming our way. The night was long and very wind. Before we felt asleep, the wind got so strong that one of our tent piles got bent by it. The rest of the night we have spent waking up to gusts of wind blowing down the valley and trying to keep the tent together.Read more
