Today we woke up at half past 6, in order to leave early to catch the bus. It took us a bit of time to find the recepitionist guy so we could pay and leave our bags with him. We were only taking our small rucksacks which feels great after lugging around our massive packs for so long. So within 30 minutes we were in Puerto Montt, the largest city...

Bé finalment em vaig llevar i vaig poder arreglar un taxi que em portes a les pingüineres, protegides per convencions internacionals (Ottoway, crec que es diu) El viatge va ser llarg, pero amb paisatges molt espectaculars. Arribar allà viag poder veure que hi havia pescadors que tenien llanxes motores. Crec recordar que algú em va dir que no cui...

Arrived in Ancud which is a small fishing village in the north of Chiloé island. Chiloé island is a small green and very rainy island to the west of Chile - sound familiar to anyone? For some time now people have been telling me about Chiloé and telling me that I´d feel right at home here because of the green and the rain. So you can imagine my ...

Es kommt mir wie eine Ewigkeit vor, die ich hier auf Chiloé verbracht habe, dabei waren es nur ein paar Tage. Neben Marilena ist nun auch Marlena aus Deutschland mit dabei. Hier auf Chiloé habe ich bei Britt und seiner Frau Sandra gewohnt, ihnen gehoert das Reiseunternehmen, mit dem ich die Schiffstour gemacht habe. Es war schoen, fuer einmal be...

Sarah and I each went our own way, she was heading to Mendoza in Argentina and I was making my way down south, first to Valdivia and then to my main goal, the island of Chiloé. It was great to travel with Sarah and a lot of fun so I missed her in the beginning, but oh well, that's the way it goes with us travellers. A lot of hi's and goodbyes......

The journey from Bariloche across the Andes to Chile was probably one of the most amazing bus journeys I have ever done. I really like beaches and the sea, but going up through the Lake District and through the Andes was just breathtaking for me. Although it did remind me of the time that Dad was driving John, Peter and myself down through the A...

Heute waren wir im "Museo regional" in Ancud. Das war zwar wen arg klien aber ganz nett....Am Nachmittag wollten wir dann eigentlich einen Spaziergang am Meer machen, Miriam wollte uns begleiten, aber ich glaube sie hatte uns falsch verstanden, denn aus dem Spaziergang wurde dann eine Spazierfahrt mit dem Auto.

There's something about Chile that you cant help but love. For one the architecture is worlds apart from anywhere else in Latin America. There are actually houses made out of wood. Yes thats right I said wood. If you can believe it. In every other country all the buildings are made of reinforced earthquake resistant concrete. But since Chile see...

Well I slept really well on the bus last night, and I got my toe nails painted. Hows that for the good stuff? I jumped a bus from Puerto Montt to Castro this morning. It rained, then it cleared, then it rained, then in cleared. I took a quick boat ride around the bay to see the stilted houses - very pretty, cute. Thats all there was to do in Cas...
