Once Matt had decided that he wasn´t going to die of Man-Flu we made it on our first day walk to ´Laguna 69´.
The stunning drive there gave way to some phenomenal views (as shown above) and the surrounding only became more extraordinarily beautiful once we started walking. However, appreciating them wasn´t easy at all times: Matt quickly discovered that training consisting of 2 years of sitting at a desk with the odd Tuesday night kick about, man-flu, and a recent 24 hour trans-atlantic flight were possibly not the best preparation for walking upto 4400m, and I am ashamed to say that my 20 minute interval training on the treadmill didn´t quite cut it either. Very soon after starting the walk the ´swearing-above-4000m-definitely-allowed´ rule was introduced, and, whether right or wrong, I am pleased to say it got us all the way to the top!
