Gran Hotel Colonos del Sur Puerto Varas

... we couldn´t really see much through the rain. The boat started to really rock in the massive waves because the wind was picking up, so I started to feel really queasy, but suprise suprise, I wasn´t sick!!! <br><br>After our boat ride we visited a few handicraft markets and took a pleasant ride back to the main land. We needed an early night after a long 12 hour tour as we had to be up early for our border crossing to Argentina. <br><br>Blog you later<br><br>Kate and Mark<br><br>x<br>

... is famous for volcano climbing, rafting and other sports. Wednesday 25th March. I have decided (? wisely???) to do the volcano climb and last night was fitted out with hire gear including a daypack holding wet weather pants and jacket along with snow/ice crampons and icepick!!! Also some heavy duty hiking boots. So at 7am with some chocolate biscuits and a roll for lunch I am bussed up to the start of the volcano walk which is in the snowfields near the ...

... had the Canato here, on Lorna's recommendation, and I have to say it was fantastic. I'm definitely going to get Lorna to cook this for me when I get back......yeah, that's right, I'm being all macho....I'm gonna get my wife to do it!!......I really hope she doesn't read this!! We had a walk around the port area. It's nice here, but you can tell we have moved South of Santiago by over 1000kms as its a lot cooler. We said our goodbye's to the ...

... It wasn't deluxe, but was nice. We loaded up after about an hour and went to the falls. It was not a great distance, but they are rebuilding the road so it took a little bit of time to get there. The falls are more like a series of large cascades. The area is VERY volcanic and the water is extremely clear and bluish-green. We were able to beat most of the tour busses, so there were not hoards of ...

... Strecke nach Ushuaia hint** uns gebracht. Wir schlafen in dem Hotel Montecarlo. Wir essen noch einen "Completo" (Hot Dog) und gehen ins Bett.

Rain. Arggggh. This wasn´t supposed to happen. Landing in Puerto Montt we got our first rain since our very first day in New York at the start of this trip and frankly it wasn´t welcome. Having been stung by the increased expense of Chile compared to Bolivia and Peru (20 pounds a night rather than 8!) we decided to stick with the casa familial option. From the outside Casa Perla didn´t inspire confidence -a fairly ramshackle looking ...

... ijs drijven. Het deed me aan Titanic denken, net een ijskerkhof. De rest van de middag en avond heb ik de hele tijd met Carmac (Ier) en Alex (Duitser) rondgehangen in de bar. Buiten is het koud en nat... een echt hondenweertje. Deze keer minder gunstig gezien bij de weergoden. Zaterdag 15 maart 2008 Hmm... waar ga ik me vandaag mee bezighouden?! Het regent pijpenstelen. Buiten van het - iet of wat tegenvallend - landschap genieten zit er dus niet in. Dan ben ik ...
