This morning we had to wake up at 6:00. The idea was to start early with the walk (as you are permanently exposed to the sun/it becomes quite hot during the day. Furthermore the mules had to be loaded on time to leave.
As the day before I had experienced that the sun really burns, I had long sleaves, a Buff and even gloves on to protect myself.
We had a walk planned for approx 15km with 500 hmtr. The walk was good and after a couple of hours walk and some rest, we got for the first time to see Aconcagua (from the Polish glacier/route side. This was a very impressive view.
At about 15:30 we arrived at Casa de Piedra and we setup our tent/VE25:) This went a lot faster than the dat before, so luckily we were learning (later on/on high altitude everything costs much more energy, so it is very practical to this kind of jobs fast/efficient.
After the tent was setup, I took a little “shower” which was to put a waterhose with icecold water on my head (refreshing for sure) followed by some chilling in the tent and taking a quick nap before dinner.
Tomorrow we have to wake up at 5:00 (getting earlier by the day:) so at approx. 20:30 we headed towards the tent for some good rest.
