Three Lakes

A big walk was planned for today. We caught the 8.30 bus to the National Park Huerquehue. The walk was scheduled to take 3.5 hours up and 3.5 hours down. There were buses back at either 14.10 or 17.10 so it had to be the 17.10 but that carried with it the worry whether everyone would fit on that last bus. Once we had paid the park fees we set off at a pace uphill. We got to the top lake in 2 hours. We had a lovely quiet spot for lunch and a paddle but after a while lots of other walkers arrived. So we set off down at a slower pace and stopped to see the cascades. However we still had a long wait for the bus. Thankfully we both got a seat - some people had to stand all the way for the hour journey after walking all day.

When we were sat waiting for the bus someone spotted this tarantula wandering around......
