Bike-themed Party, Birthday

Reisebericht Patagonien - 8. Tag

01/10/2010 Paine National Park

What 'ne creepy night * laughing * I had to get to the bathroom, grabbed my flashlight and I got on' n Camping scurried to the washroom. And I scared the whole time that I am a puma had obtained * laughs * Yes, I know, I've just seen too many horror movies: P But the idea of working to stay in the national park, where tons of Pumas there that night to go hunting for prey, I was somehow sinister addition oO came the door to the laundry room, which creaked in the wind all the time and the fact that no light was in the washroom. Oh man, I'm almost dead with fear * lol * I was glad when I returned to my cabin was and still had all our limbs turn * g * No dream and Puma as fodder to end * *

Well laughing in the morning It was cloudy, overcast the mountains as ever, but it pleasantly calm ^ ^ Okay, not quite calm, but very little wind for Patagonian conditions. After breakfast we went to the community walk through the park. We had this extra a guide with, who knew exactly where to go. And to the dismay of all the guy had shorts on. Yes, what is so dreadful to wear short pants? Actually nothing, for it was finally summer in Chile. But 30 degrees in the shade not the slightest trace * laughs * We were all dressed like the Eskimos and the guy in shorts because hampelt around in front of us. Just by the sight I was beginning to feel cold ...


first stop at a waterfall, the Salto Grande;)

The hike was more of a leisurely stroll past rare plants and simply pristine nature. Wonderful:) Since my little beat Photographers heart again later ^ ^
I had to stand on each new plant to remain and take pictures. As a consequence for that I could listen to me together with some other bollocking Manfred that we are too slow and not stay with the group. Hm, it still went ahead anyway and we only had the group in sight. So no reason to get excited: P

A few photos I've taken on road.


At the end of the trail has a lot to us Manfred explains the flora and fauna. And then he said we should all times be quiet. That was crass. It really has not heard anything. Absolutely nothing. Only nature. When I was there with mom on 'm hard sat and watched the lake have, where the mountains have reflected, I had nothing else on the lips as: "It's nice here I stay! ". A sentence I have said many times on the trip;) But most content in the Paine National Park:)

On the day there were exceptional lunch, as a substitute for a Dinner that later turns out to Punta Arenas. And then it went straight to the next hike. This time on a voluntary basis, because the walk is quite strenuous and steep. But almost all are called.


directly behind our campsite one could climb up to the condor rock. The name says it all, what there is to see;) We have on our trip to Chile starting at and seen in some condors, but only from afar. Here comes the size of these birds at all to advantage. Our disadvantage however, was that really on that day was hardly a breeze. And condors use air currents to fly. No conditions to get these animals face. Has nevertheless paid off, high to walk. The view was breathtaking! But not a birdie in sight * laugh * Helmar then had the grandiose idea that we simply drop dead, to attract the scavengers * laugh *


Well, if you bring some patience will be rewarded eventually. Even though I no longer have believed it. But suddenly thought my dad: "Look out, here comes an" All photographers now moved into position * laugh * He was too fast, so I got him just caught from behind. But was enormous, as this giant bird is hovered over us.

In the photo he looks not great, but the Andean condor is really very huge. The bird was also still an adult animal and reach a wingspan of about 3 meters. I am really no friend of so spring critters, but the Andean condor as close and do in the wild was truly an impressive experience. Looks It's not every day.

After we waited in vain for half an hour, we then descended again. Only few die-hards really wanted to stay. Had we also been times, I say just because: P because we were barely down from the rock, my mother turns around and says, "Look!". Shows up behind me, I turn around, as 3 condors hiss directly over my head. This time, however, young animals. But the top remained were really damn lucky, because the condors have later settled on the rock, as we learned at the dinner. I have the same Helmar said he will follow me to the trip's Send photos.
said than done;)

the evening there was potato soup with sausage. The rest of the day, when Mark gave us potatoes and sausages.

This time we were not greedy so * lol * Is quite what remained. Mark says that we should tip over it, but my dad once, "nüscht's! The soup we distribute here at 'm camping. Since only needs someone to come along, who can speak foreign! "* laughs * And then are my father and Sabine losgetigert and Betty have taken as an interpreter * g * Use the action we have really to days of laughter * laugh * The first is to 'NEM American couple. The two each 'ne Kelle got into her cup, because the plate had not. And then it went to 'Ner troops from Great Britain, so' ne make a similar trip as us. The 3 with her pot in the giant tent in, first one on my father made, and there THW rumgebrüllt "German Samarither" and then Soup which is poured into the pot, because that also just wanted to cook something like that. Herrlich * laughs * Well, who in any case fully happy that they had not cook and I could finally wash our pots. Manfred was the only bit of action next to it. Wherever he has again seen a problem in it. I guess soup is better away, throw it away as a soup. Well, he had not before a whole lot left over for such spontaneous actions ...
