The 'Big W' - day 4
After a particularly crunchy start to the day - the dust was everywhere - we hit the trail to Refugio Lago Pehoe. Again, the walk was across gently undulating sparsely forested bog and lakeland and passed between several small lakes, crossing some beautiful rivers where we topped up our bottles with the crystal clear, icy water.
The provisions are the best at Refugio Pehoe and we set up our tent and took a table in the campers-only refuge hut to enjoy a cup of hot tea just before the skies opened with freezing rain. More rice and packet soup, although this refuge has a little shop so we just HAD to buy some chocolate. And crisps. And cheese. And coke. And peanuts. Ummmm fooood.
Oh and yay got a hot shower! Although the hair didnt get washed as a) no shampoo and b) it is too cold for wet hair when camping in Patagonia. Oh the grease. How attractive. And Ria's is even worse.
