Carratera Austral - Day 5
... alone, we wanted to be more independent. We took our first tremp alone with a Chilean soldier that drop us in the intersection before Puerto Aisen, from there we took a tremp on the back of an open truck with another cute Chilean guy who worked in the ...
Just Rona and I
... that Im more patient than i thought, thats for sure. While waiting on the sideof the road we met a guy from Valdivia (a place in Chile). He works in the area as a fly-fishing guide and he is waiting fora ride to work. So we waited together and he told ...
Fishermans tale
06-01-06 It has now rained almost solidly, for 4 days in a trot. Apparently this is common enough here, they get about 4 meters a year. (The locals are so used to it just dander around in woolly jumpers and t-shirts as if it's a dry day.) And people ...
Puyuguapi
Fresh crisp air, snow streaked craggy mountains, clear rivers and lakes, lush green farmland and lazy cattle and sheep surround us as we mosey along the mostly gravel/rocky meandering carretara austral. Many times we find it neccesary to have a serious ...
Navimag - day 3
... of everybody. Then there was a dancing party, looked fun, but I ended up staing on deck: we could see the lights of Puerto Montt and other cities, and I stayed up there watching untill we were moored in the harbour, hours later, well into the ...
Darwin Channel
Slept a bit, but popped up to watch passage through Darwin Channel. Saw penguins, sea lions, albatross. In the 50s, but cold wind on bow. Once off bow, very comfortable. Clear day. Sunny and gorgeous. Seas calm, calm, calm. We are lucky (so far). So ...
These things happen
No time for self pity but in summary: Not good news. In brief: Went horse riding, galloping, saddle slipped, I fell, landed on my ribs. In agony. Nearest hospital is 3 days travel away. Have to suffer an awful lot of pain. Not sure what is wrong but ...
Accross the country
The last few days have been spent travelling with a group, camping in remote and isolated places, cooking food on a camp fire and gazing at the brilliantly clear night sky. Very few villages or people, just great scenery. I have it on good authority that ...
some driving, some hiking and a splash of swimming
We started out this morning with a flat tire. The old dude at the tire shop patched us up real nice. He had all this little tricks, it was sweet watching a real pro. We drove a couple of hours and stopped at Queulat national park for a ...
Barato va Hogar
(Barato Goes Home) Today I passed two New Zealand cyclists, one of whom had a little yellow trailer. We stopped at the side of the road and traded information for a little while before they left... and Barato with them. 150 km! ...
Navimag Voyage & Puerto Aysen
... be landing at the scheduled time of 10:00pm and that it would be closer to midnight. When midnight finally arrived we reached Puerto Chacabuco as promised. All the passangers were only allowed to deboard after all the crago was off. This meant ...
Aysen Acceptance - family, friends, schools
My Family: the players - Norma: host mother, 'librarian' at the Liceo Politecnico, little gnome of a woman, who, instead of speaking slowly and clearly to a foreigner, draws in a gulp of a breath, raises her shoulders and yells ...
ˇBarrato!
... a su casa!¨ (Go back to your house!) but nothing worked. 50 kilometres later, the dog had a name: Barrato. I arrived in Puerto Aisen around 9 p.m. very tired, very sore and very happy. Despite looking (and probably smelling) like a drowned rat, I ...
ˇLa Pinchada!
The New Zealand cyclists who took Barato offered me a spare tube for my trailer. I said, "No thanks, I don´t carry spares." ...
my new home
... been or lived. The Chilean slang is thick here, I often have to ask people if the word they just said is a ¨modismo¨, something unique to Chile. There are many here in Aysen that are unique to the region too, they are fun to learn but they can also be ...
ˇLa Cuesta!
... south. The first was a guy wearing a baseball hat who had cycled all the way from Alaska! 18 months later, he was in Chile headed toward Ushuaia, the southern-most town in the world. Later, I passed two cyclists, one of whom called out, "There´s a ...
Aysen Arrival
We spent two days in Coyhaique, a pleasant town, nestled into a mountain side with architecture influenced by Germanic settlers and a tourist friendly centro (downtown). There we were to leave over half of the group, including my good friend ...
