Today the first thing I had to do was find some internet. I went for a walk around the town and soon discovered that everywhere you had to pay and that wifi was not working anywhere. I found a little shop selling pay Internet on computers which looked to be the best deal so I went back to the house and got Hernan so he could also use. The Internet at the shop was incredibly slow but it worked well enough to check a few emails and send a few Facebook messages. The town was once again full of people and the weather was perfect with a little wind, we brought a few things at the supermarket and then made our way back to the house to make some lunch where now more people were up starting their day. The house is very strange with 9 of us living here and people coming and going non-stop and friends coming over to cook, shower etc. I do feel as if I am intruding a bit as there are so many people and all of whom probably pay rent. After lunch and some Yerba Mate we decided to do one of the easy hikes from town out to the waterfall which was a two hour round-trip. As we started to walk out the famous Patagonian strong wealthy winds started and made the whole walk out harder and more difficult then we could possibly imagine, however on arrival we were met with a beautiful waterfall firing off the top of a 30m cliff. Hernan and I grabbed some nice photos and walked around having to share the experience with about 50 others but none the less enjoying every moment. The walk back was far easier with the wind at our backs and I am sure it only took us about 30 minutes. We made a quick stop at the house for some Mate before making our way to the centre to watch the local drum band who were performing for today's festival. One of the guys from the house was playing and it was an incredible experience with heavy picussion and the Fitz Roy Mountain Range in the background. It turns out Hernan could play a little aswell so he jumped in for a few sets on the bongo whilst I took some photos. I headed back to the house to take a rest before the bands started at 11pm but whilst making dinner I got talking with Matilde and ended up talking about travels and experiences right through until 12:30am. By this time everyone was ready to go out but for me I was too exhausted and cringed at the idea of going out until 6 in the morning.
