Wednesday morning (28th of Nov) we woke up in the fog. Real fog this time. Set off, looking forward to meet the snow which everyone told us was waiting for us further ahead. Strange how everyone makes big problem out of everything concerning these treks; there is always supposed to be soooooooooooooo much snow and the trail sooooooooooo hard to find etc. Ok, we did meet snow and in places there wasn´t any trail because it was buried by the snow but the stakes (few and far between) showed the way and as it cleared up in the afternoon one could see far and wide and making your way through the snow became a very straight-forward matter. The destination for that day was Los Baños, some thermal springs, and it was such a shame that the two Dutch couples who were going there as well decided to turn back because the way wasn´t obvious in the snow. Ok, I have to admit that I was getting a bit tired of slogging in the snow (shich really wasn´t all that deep) but turning around wasn´t an option either so on we went. To our pleasant surprise we found out that the snow was easier to walk in than ever before and also became less and less. At 7 in the evening we finally arrived at the Baños, tired but happy to be there at last.
