La Posta del Cazador San Martin de los Andes

... a youthful male condor in colour and looks; he rode the wind like a badly made kite. All his movements were too much and exaggerated what he wanted to achieve; a good perch for a good nights rest. Six times he managed to steer himself close to the cliff, only to duck out as the wind was too much. Later Katie, the science officer told me whilst studying them; she's seen young ones fly into the wall, fall and recover. Well, Dillon I swear knew we were ...

... the grand estancias of the south and they still retain the romance mistakenly given to other farming lands. This is just the hem of Chile's garment and already we are swooning, begging her for panoramic photos every 30 kilometres or so. When we arrive at 5PM in the sleepy port town of Porvenir we discover that the ferry only leaves from here once a day - at 1 PM. Whoops...looks like a night spent in a nothing town waiting for tomorrow's ferry. Checking into a nearby hotel, the owner ...

... 1 AM, there was someone at the front door welcoming us back! There is no set time for meals and you eat at the times you like. The quality of the food as well as the preparation and presentation is excellent. There is a casual elegance in the luxury accommodations. Take a look at our photos to get a feel for the light wood construction and how open and warm it feels to be there! The Rio Hermoso Hotel is well located ...

... intention is "smile and laugh" and that is exactly what we feel like doing! Of course, there are two eggs cooked perfectly with tasty tomato garnish. With a refresh of our coffee and juice, we are content. We sit beside the large windows facing the river and our thoughts go to how much it would cost to live here for a month - we could rent our home - well, you get the idea! After breakfast we take a walk by the river. There is an inviting ...

... what I want! Here I am. Just be with it. There is a shift in the energy of our trip - the journey is now inside myself. Where we are is the stimulus for that journey. I have internalized my favorite travel quotes: "One's destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things." By Henry Miller "There is only one journey. Going inside yourself." By Rainer Maria Rilke Today's photos! http://www.margieswebgallery.com/galler ies/argentina/Day%2016%2012-18-08/

... Allerdings angesichts der leeren Weinflaschen nicht allzu ernst. Eigentlich wollten wir doch direkt ins Bett, es wurde jedoch ziemlich spaet. Aber so wurde auch Martina dazu gezwungen ihre Spanischkenntnisse anzuwenden, welche besser als gedacht waren. Am naechsten Tag unternahmen wir einen laengeren Spaziergang am See entlang. Die Landschaft erinnert sehr an unsere Heimat (Martina lacht ueber meinen Schreibstil....paaah!) ....also sehr schoen, Wasser ...

The disparities in wealth are becoming increasingly evident, as is the need for greater action in the area of canine contraceptives. I have a knack for enticing stray dogs to become my loyal followers - up mountains, into supermarkets, to spanish lessons... Departure from cities resembles the pre-war send offs, as the soldiers went off to war...their onlookers lovingly looking on ...

Having arrived in Puerto Montt, our first destination was to Puerto Varas, part of the Chilean Lake District. This town (and several nearby) are renown for their German links and we were told to expect lots of Bavarian architecture and delicious kuchen. We caught a bus to the lake side village Frutillar, famous for its jam. This picturesque village had an amazing view of Volcano Orsorno and so we were able to spend a few ...

... of the water. <br><br><br><br>We sat up there for a while (me on some stones, Katie enjoying probably the most stunning toilet break of her life) and then walked over to the other side of the hill, to enjoy the views that I'd expected before we started, back over the lake and towards town. <br><br><br><br>Both views were excellent, but that first one down the valley was as ...

... en BBQ traditie beoordeeld te hebben) een auto gehuurd. Onze nieuwe aanwinst is een zilvergrijze Chevrolet Corsa met het toepasselijke nummerbord ´GEK 998´. Met onze GEK toeren we nu al bijna 2 weken rond. In de locale supermarkt hebben we een tentje, een luchtbed en 2 slaapzakken gekocht...zodat we ook ´s nachts een plekje hebben om te slapen (na ons muggenavontuur in Salta leek de stoel van de auto niet zo ...
