Broke down in Coyaique

We have spent three of our least finest days in this town. Our experience here has been summarized by sickness and laze. The first night we went through a small tunnel to our beds in a poorly ventilated room that had been recently painted. This room aka headache city had low ceilings. We rose in the morning to throbbing heads and on top of that Chris and Robin both smashed their heads on the way out of the room. This was not a good place so we had Pete Logan find us a better place. We moved from headache city right over to the swamp pit. For the last three days we have all been sick. We have been couped up in a room with snowy screened tv and a lot of blankets we have sweated out gallons of sickness, spentquick adrenaline filled minutes in the bathroom, watched countless movies and commiserated. But now we are better. Glad to have left that room and the smells that lingered behind we will hopefully spend a few days enjoying this town now with our good friend Pete

  3. Chris, Robin and Ray,

    Looking at your pictures this morning, all I can relate about your equipment chioces is that you did well by chosing mountain bike over road bikes. With all of that luggage, you'd have more than just one cracked rim at this time.

    Take care and please stay healthy.

    Best,
    Dad (Mr. Farrell)
