Before our next big hike, we did various activities around town. On Saturday, we headed up one of the town chairlifts called Cerro Viejo, where you can go down a "Tobagan Gigante" or as they're called in German "Rodelbahn", or in English "Alpine Slide". In any language, this is one of Scott's favorite things to do!
Unfortunately, since he is so much faster than me, there are no pictures of Scott enjoying his slide. He tends to "open the throttle" a little more than me. :)
On Sunday, Scott headed to the local ski area, Cerro Catedral for some mountain biking. And, let's face it, he wanted to check out the ski terrain. He knew he was getting in for some excitement when the people at the rental place offered him the full armor (spine protector and shoulder pads). However, he decided to keep it mellow and stuck to just the full-face helmet.
Overall, Scott describes the riding as "good, tough, and fast".
On Monday, we prepared for our next big hiking trip by running a few errands in town, including, of course, a chocolate stop. This time we tried Rapa Nui. Review: excellent chocolate/coconut bars, meh marzipan.
We had a relaxing weekend and looked forward to our next three-day hike!
