The Leaving Party

The Leaving Party

Party and the off

We're off again on our travels!!!
After months of thinking about it, formulating the plan, booking our flights and last minute packing we were in need of a farewell party with a fine mix of Tod harriers, Calderdale tri club members and West Mount Vets staff. The theme was Heros and Villains, creating a good opportunity to get the fancy dress box out. Mr and Mrs Incredible hosted the party with fine attendences from Dangermouse, Trinity, Bonnie and Clyde, Calamity Jane and Wyatt Earp (or was it Woody from Toy Story), Number 1, Santa, The one and only miniture hero and may more.
Two weeks since the party now and our Bikes and bags are packed. A marathon has been run and we are ready to go......

What a beautiful day!

23rd December 2011
It´s aways nice arriving somewhere in not so ideal circumstances, because when you wake the following morning to a beautiful sunny day, it makes it all worth will. This morning is one such day.


After our breakfast we went for a wander and found a very nice little beach to sit on to admire the view of the mountains and see if we could spot this erupting chilean volcano? Nothing, not a single sign, just a haze of yellow dust in the distance. Afterward we popped into town for a look around and to see whether we could organise the boat trip that are going to take us into Chile, but got to the agency when they were closing for siesta so just got a little infomation for now. We did find a nice coffee shop for a sit down, coffee and a traditional piece of spanish strudel. Yes, I no it´s an Austrain dessert and if you could see this place you´d understand why it´s here. It´s like being in some alpine ski resort. Little wood cabins that look like they´ve been built using a chocolate box for plans. The place really feels very odd and not at all Argentinian.


The day finished very much as it started, beautifully, with the most wonderful sunset that cast an orange glow across the snow covered mountains.
