Colonos Express Puerto Varas

... that I have become accustom to. The warm hotel with the steaming hot showers, the fabulous restaurant with 3 course meals, American Channels on the flat screen TV, and the little chocolates left on my bed every night by the turn down service. I will miss walking to school every morning and laughing to myself every time I see the sign for Moe's Tavern. If you have every watched the "Simpson’s" you will know that MOE’S is the bar that Homer goes ...

... we all should have been given but weren't). I finally made the volcano smmit not last but close to it. After getting my wobbly legs stable I enjoyed walking around the steaming and smelly sulphurous rim of the volcano. The booming sounds of the lava deep below were amazing. No fresh lava was not able to be seen as it was deep down the cavernous opening but the ground was ashy and warm and in parts icy so the thermals were evident. The trip was tough but up ...

... is an awesome airline carrier in Chile. Good prices, good food served on every flight, and the let Ben's parents change their flight without a change fee!). Since Ben and I have birthdays only a day apart, Ben's parents treated us to the Carlos Santana ...

DC to Santiago I took a whirlwind trip back to the U.S. for Christmas and picked up Peter to make our way back to Santiago. A couple of essential items I was missing that I had to bring back with me included: Honey Nut Cheerios, granola bars, Newman's Own dressing and soft toilet paper. It was great to have Pete here and show him the "Chilean way of life" which basically is just a whole lot more relaxed than ...

... the wind we had to get up at 4am and paddle during the windless calm of the morning. Definitely a few days to remember from our Patagonian adventures. And weīve built some fine shoulder muscles too! We did find some thermal pools up one fiord (Cahuelmo) which were very relaxing - so much so that we stayed an extra day there. There were about 7 pools cut out of the volcanic rock, each pool supplied with hot water via a ...

Finally managed to drag ourselves away from Bariloche and got ourselves to Puerto Montt. We arrived on Saturday and our boat didnīt leave until Monday so we had a little time to look around the area. Managed to find a lovely little Hospadaje for a really good price then headed out to explore. Puerto Montt didnīt have much to offer other than lots of shady bars and shifty blokes. "Thatīs the thing about port cities..." kept coming out of our ...

... werde ich mich auf Nahrungssuche begeben. Vielleicht erlege ich einen Strassenkoeter! Mal sehen! Ist auch teurer als ich dachte! 6000 Chilenische Dollar kostet das Hostel die Nacht, das sind etwa 10 Euro... im Lonely Planet steht was anderes.... Naja!

... niet alles hebben... Maandag 17 maart 2008 Ik vind het nu wel jammer dat de boottocht gedaan is. Begon er al aan gewoon te geraken, aan dat luieren! Om 10u zoiets zijn we in de haven van Puerto Montt aangekomen. Het is een mooie zonnige dag, je voelt het verschil goed in temperatuur tegenover het uiterste zuiden van Chili. Puerto Montt is de hoofdstad van The Lake District of the Xth region. Chili is ingedeeld in regionen, van I (helemaal het noorden) tot XII ...

... well expensive for what it was. so we decided to change hostels but that was a bit of a mistake: we went for cheap but we got a basic hostel - fine. But the kitchen couldnt be used as it was so unhygenic to use... And the people who stayed there were pigs, treating the place like a poohole, leaving the kitchen and bathrooms in a state... They ...
