And we left with our tail between our legs and the rain on our faces - 4 & 5 March 2009

Jen woke up feeling much better today, so we tried to hike up to the Valle del Francés.  We made it about 30 minutes before the combination of illness and not eating caught up with us and then turned around.

If you're keeping score at home, we made it around the circle of Torres del Paine, but failed to complete the "W" route.  We went back to Refugio Pehoe, spent a little time reading, and then caught the catamaran back to Campo Torres.  On the way across the lake dark clouds rolled in, and we got rained on on our way out of the park.

We spent the night in Puerto Natales, enjoying some pizza and the next day took a 6 hour bus ride into Argentina to being our tour of Los Glaciares.  The bus was stifling and for awhile I thought Jen would have her revenge for the tent incident, but she managed to hang on until we got into El Calafate.

A late lunch at a crepe restaurant, of all things, and then lots of rest in preparation for tomorrow.
