Diego De Almagro Pto Montt Puerto Montt

... ice and icebergs. Cool :-) On the final day the sun did venture out and Jeremy, Loki and I played a few games of giant-chess on deck.<br><br>The final night was THE party. Lol. It is indeed a strange feeling to find oneself on a cruise, holding a couple of bingo-boards, listening attentively to the numbers...before the age of 60! The karaoke dude was giving his best shot at Punk Floyd, we were gradually getting plastered and there was dancing. Oh there was dancing ...

... time to go home. Usually there is a small group of kids that wait for us and walk us halfway home. Today one of the kids mentioned that they wanted to see Harry Potter but did not have anyone to go with. I am a real fan of the Harry Potter series and was upset to see all the commercials on TV announcing that the movie will start July 15th. Parral does not have a movie theater so there was no way that I was going to see it. I said I wanted to see it too but ...

... room and go out with my friends. I go to Pedro Aguirre Cerda School. I live in Puerto Varas, Chile. I am very active, flirtatious, friendly, but sometimes I am timid and introverted with some people.<br><br>My name is Patricio Molina I am 16 years old. I like to go out with friends, play video games, make money with trading cards and listening to music. I live in Puerto Montt, Chile. I am very crazy at school that is why ...

... assigned seat for awhile, and switch after the bus down the road abit. I had some nice aisle seatmates from Poland, so speaking English about traveling helped made it a more pleasant jouney. Although, not too far in the trip, it started raining! Bah humbug! It would start, and stop, start and stop. But, I was inside and not out! And this is an Argentina bus, NOT Bolivia, so we had real heat on the bus! And very comfortable ...

... a debacle of a costume change (and beverage refreshment break) this was followed by a choreographed game of soccer (still in drag for some reason!) and an act that involved a rather large cucumber and some Miss South America contestants (don´t ask - oh, and Sichy, I NEVER thought it was real!). All performed in our tiny cabin which opened out onto the corridor (the stage curtain was a sarong strung across the bunks ...

... snow capped mountains of patagonia to the East and Isla Chiloe to the West. I had planned to get a ferry from Puerto Montt across to the start of Patagonia and the small town of Chaiten, however the large Volcan Chaiten had decided to erupt, causing the town to be evacuated, so it that ceased to be a plausable plan, should I wish to live... and right now its what I really want to do! So what to do...

... travelled, the Lake Distric had certainly lived up to all the hype. We were surrounded by enormous, shimmering lakes, which rested at the bottom of snow-capped volcanoes and mountains, amongs lush green forests. It was truely stunning, postcard perfect scenery surrounded us as we were weaving through the mountain ranges. Bariloche itself looks like a mini-Austria, with small wooden cabin-like buildings lining the ...

... either via cancellation or because they were being a little economical with the truth as per above. If necessary and I cant get a cabin place I will simply just fly down on Tuesday instead - either way the target is to reach Puerto Natales and ultimately the supposedly spectacular Torres del Paine National Park where I´ll be aiming to do a long trek over 5-7 days.

... which is kilometres deep and pretty wide we passed a boat stuck on the one massive rock that sticks up to only 2metres below the water line. How unlucky is that? Actually this boat deliberately hit the rock for ...

... with the giant leaves of the gunnera plant lining the roads, interspersed with bushes of pretty red fuschia flowers. It certainly felt different. We stopped the night in a lakeside town called Puerto Varas, which has a large snow-capped volcano silently guarding the other side of the water. The smoke from eight nearby forest fires lent a very rosy light to ...
