When it's cold but you manage to badly burn you lip nonetheless... the wind and clouds are deceiving!!!
Eating hurts... but all the amazing looking treats at the bakeries aren't as tasty as they look anyway 🤣. ...

While we're riding our bikes here, many other tourists are here to enjoy some winter sports. Because we heard such good stories about 'Las Leñas' we decided to check it out. Paul rented a snowboard. Me, a sled. But since the sled piste turned out to be closed I tried snowboarding, for the first time!! And it was great fun!! ...

After wind and rain comes... a lovely comfortable 'departamen' with a wood stove, wood... and pancakes!!
Washing and drying our clothes, listening a podcast and sleeping in a comfy cosy bed. It's so easy to take those things for granted when they're there everyday. And yet so easy to re-appreciate and value them again after just a bit of time doing without. ...

Viento viento viento! Wind wind and more wind! Sometimes it's great... pushing us forward, sometimes it's a struggle. Finding a place to escape the wind for a peaceful break can be challenging.. but we always do (at some point).
