Torres Del Paine

Overnight - Haunted House

So after visiting the end of the world and seeing the worlds most southerly lighthouse, postbox etc we headed north crossing the Magellan Straits into Chile to the Torres del Paine National Park.  Spent a night camping in a old disused schoolhouse which alledgedly is haunted.

By now I was beginning to get used to the camping regime although with a mamouth 33 of us including drivers it is difficult to get anything sorted quickly.  Dinner usually takes around 3 hours to cook and we have become experts at the art of "flapping" our dishes to dry them after washing to the amusement of all the other campers.

I managed to set up my tent facing the mountain range which gave me an amazing view of the sunrise when I looked out in the morning (photos to follow!)

So here it was time for some serious trekking which I will admit was a bit of a shock to the system but the scenery was worth it including the Towers and the Grey Glaciar.
