We started the day with a short cycle down hill to Port Pañuelo where we shared mate in the terminal . This is a nice sharing occasion , of drinking mate using the same metal straw and passing the mate back to the principle sharer . In the uk it would appear strange passing the germs around .
The port was full of travellers some with bikes and others walking. Later found that the other bikers were catching a ferry to Chile .
The walkers for a short stop in Bosque de Arrayanes. Literally sone 50 minutes . But I suppose they , like me , enjoy being outside on a ferry . One thing to note was that the majority had long trousers a hat and were prepared for a cold crossing but really it was fine .
For information the ferry + tax was 2500 + 500 = 3000 ARP = £8.
Arriving in Bosque de Arrayanes, it's 12 km of woodland trail over roots , brown , some have to be walked up . It's quite narrow shared with hikers from Villa a Angostura. So we are well focussed on the obstacles encounter branches, roots, ups or downs, tight curves.
This trail takes us to the area of the Quetrihue peninsula, in Villa La Angostura, leaving after travelling 12 km again on the route. I shall return to this town in 3 days time . Looks small good for resting up later .
We continue on the route of the 7 lakes.
It's a tough climb for the next 50km .
The same answer always , uno más subido , one more hill , is always the answer .
We arrived at the accommodation of the day, Hosteria 7 lakes located on the shores of Lake Correntoso .
Tonight we are camping . I share with Dani . The next day I told him lo siento pero ronco . ( sorry I snore ) . His answer un poco.
Local cooked food and visited the kitchen to see tortas fritos being made .
How lucky am I ?
