two dorks into the wild ( in cochamo, lake district of chile)

at least thats what we tried.... we kinda nearly made it to the beginning of the track, but only nearly. so the two of us , standing in the middle of no where, with a lot of rain from above, not knowing where the track actually started, not having a proper map + unable to talk proper spanish....no wonder we ended up in hitchhiking, yet we hitchiked too far!! but due to malo ingles and malo malo español, joe our hitchhikie stopped the car in the middle of the road, grabbed his laptop and connected e viola to the world wide web using googles translator. after a while we figured the best thing was to drive us back to where we started, but first he had to pick up someone and then we venture back.... oooook... all right we thought... 2 hours and a pretty scenic drive 4wd drive later through the lake district we ended up where we started... with rain, no map, no spanish and no idea what to do. soooooooooo we set up a tent. good teamwork i would say. only two cuts in one hand but a rainproof home for the night. perfect. tomrrow is gonna be fine.
weeellll maybe not. so whene we had a peak at 10:40 (honestly, what kind of trekker wakes up at 10:40) all we saw was rain and rain and rain.
to be honest we didnt even look for the weather forecast, i would say... two dorks into the wild needs further practice. so we decided to go back to puerto monntt.


and decided to follow the sun.
we are in argentine now.
we are in bariloche.
