During the night I heard everybody snoring, and I remember that at some point in the night I woke up with Robert shaking my bed, and did not understand why he was doing that, but in the morning I understood it was because I must have been snoring even louder than the others. That night in a bed after 2 nights under the tent was great.
Robert had left early in the morning to El Calafate, Lionel was leaving in the afternoon, and Milva two days later. Also when we came back I learned that our Ferry on the 6th of april had been cancelled for technical reasons, and we did not know if we could get some space in the ferry on the 30th of march, or if we'd have to go north by bus.
Anyway I decided to stay one more day, possibly to go hiking some more, but in the end I was a bit tired, the weather was uncertain at best, and I missed a great view, as in the morning there were no clouds, for an hour or so, on cerro Torre an cerro Fitzroy, which seem quite rare. We could see the top of these mountains from town.
We did our internet and photot stuff, and I went with Milva to a cheaper place to stay, we cooked our food and went to internet and took it easy. In the evening, as we were going to go to sleep, we heard a voice in the lounge: Bruno had found us, I knew he was around and I had given him directions to find us, so we had to go out for a beer and share stories.
As for the boat, finally they had room in the ferry on the 30th of march, so I booked it... that left me with just 6 days to do two 5-hours bus rides, including a border crossing, and then the 3 or 4 day trek in Torres del Paine, plus another day of connection... I had to get moving!
All that was taking one week off my time in Patagonia, so I had to give up my idea of a horse trek... anyway it looked very expensive, and I had not looked yet at how and where to do it.

attention
Fait gaffe tu va pas tarder à geler sur place!!
Apparemment il ne veulent pas de toi sur la croisiére s'ammuse. C'est pas grave tu te feras consoller par un gaucho en manque d'affection.
