Day FIVE...Torres del Paine

After a great night sleep, and a big breakfast, we had to get going so we could catch our bus back to Puerto Natales. It was a beautiful day which made for a great hike.
This is the view from the trail on the way to our final destination, Hosteria Las Torres. Our final day was a nice easy, 2.5 hour hike down hill (for the most part). Hosteria Las Torres is a hotel visitors can stay in as well as a refugios for us stinky hikers.
The shuttle for our bus showed up right on time. We were in a 15 person van that made us un-load before venturing accross the smallest bridge I´ve ever seen because we were ¨too heavy¨..hmmm..... so, Noah and I promptly got out, and began walking....
Can you believe this van fit???
NEW YEARS EVE!! In the photo is (from left) Geranimo, Owen, Bill (co-founder of the hostel) and my self. We were tired, but happy. It was truely one of the best trips I´ve ever taken....

Yeah! What an amazing trip. I'm sure you have lots of other photos and stories to share when you return home (and hopefully your bags will arrive with you this time). Can't wait to see you both. Have a safe trip back.
