Floriane's e-reader has given up. Surely a shock during the border crossing. Decidedly, we have bad luck with electronic devices these days.

We leave O'Higgins and we start this famous Carretera Austral. There's a lot of wind. At some point we've to get off the bike to move forward. But after a few bends in the mountains, we don't  feel it anymore.

The rain start while we're having lunch. We drive the last 25km under rain. We find a shelter in a refugio made available to cyclists. As we are alone, we can sleep there, which prevents us from setting up the teepee under a dreadful weather. The fire place dries our clothes, it's perfect.
