And Happy 71st Birthday dad.
As mentioned yesterday, we were meant to start our ride north on the Carretera Austral today however, we woke up to foul weather and winds and decided that because this road was a highlight of the trip it would be pointless to ride it in this weather just because today was the day that we had planned to do so. We opted instead to hang around in Los Antiguos at Hotel Mora for another night as the weather forecast for tomorrow is sunny all the way to Coyhaique where we will spend the night.
Fortunately for us, it also turned out to be Carla (Hotel Mora’s manageress) day off and she volunteered to show us around the area so we got to see some of the sights in neighbouring Chile Chico on the Chilean side of the border and to sample some authentic Chilean Pisco sours.
Enrico and Carla
All in all a relaxing day before we tackle the road tomorrow.
