On our fifth hiking day I woke up and felt that I had reached the limit. I had a cold with an annoying cough already when I left Sweden and 4 days of hiking hadn't helped my case. I felt more sick. Since I knew that the day would consist of either an easy hike or a tough biking tour I decided to stay in the camp. The bike tour would be too tough for me and the hike seemed OK to skip. If I should take it easy one day on my vacation, this was the day.

After breakfast I went back to bed and woke up 2 hours later. I surely needed to take it easy. The rest of the afternoon I spent taking care of all my pictures, filtering and sorting. I also ended up making a slideshow, that I showed to everyone else in the evening. They all seemed to enjoy it. I will upload it on Facebook when I get back home. I think it will take too long time, if it is even possible, to upload it from Chile. The internet lines I have been using have not been the fastest.
We had a nice final dinner together in Eco Camp and exchanged e-mail addresses. There is always a picture that you want from someone else and there is always someone that you will keep in touch with for years after. At least that is my experience.
The next day was just one long transport day back to Punta Arenas.
My final day in the south of Chile I spent horseback riding. It was just me and the guide riding along the beaches and through the meadows, I had the nicest horse. He was so calm, but was still easy to ride. You didn't need to push him all the time just to make him move, which is normally the case for rental horses. It was a nice end to my time in Patagonia.
