Chilly in Chile

Day: 172

Moving onwards towards a new town to see another National Park, I was up early to make it to Puerto Natales; the jumping off point for gearing up to tackle Torres del Paine National Park.  After a quick 7 hour bus ride, which included 2 hours in Chilian customs, I found a hostel which quickly set me up for the upcoming trek. I rented a tent and sleeping bag, emptied most of the contents of my backpack into my daypack and a shopping bag combo to be left in his garage (this bag included my laptop and about $3000 worth of lenses, cross your fingers for me); stuff I didn’t need while hiking, and was ready for the bus to pick me up early the next morning to move into the park.

I set off to find some dinner, take a walk, and stock up on some food for the next three days.

This day passed without incident; it was grey and cold.
