Otsikon mukaisesti, amatsoni Makila puikoissa. Nimen sain kun ostin hetken mielijohteesta ihan maltilliset punaiset korkokengat, ei mitkaan kerrostalon korkuiset. Ne kun vetaisi jalkaan niin muutenkin lyhyet chilelaiset alkoi nayttaa sielta korkeudesta kasin auttamattoman pygmeilta ja mina kuin mikakin viikinkiamatsoni. Emiliakin on taalla melko...

After another relatively painless border crossing we arrived initially in Puerto Montt, possibly the ugliest place we have been so far. It was a industrial town with a harbour and lots of bush fires. That was about it. The bus terminal was chaotic so we headed straight for the little mini-buses that do shuttle runs to nearby Puerto Varas and got...

The best laid plans of mice and men... Today´s initial plan was to book a bus for tomorrow to San Martin de los Andes in Argentina (have dropped Chiloe due to cost and time issues), then go for a bike ride in the afternoon. But no bus goes there from Puerto Varas. So I decided on Bariloche (bigger town, can go on from there to San Martin). The f...

After some nice but demanding trekking I allow myself some days of rest... It ll also give me the time to write some longwaiting mails and to update this blog!

January 2, 2007 Vivid Volcanoes and Raging Rivers Dear Readers: What an amazing day we have today!

Since I last wrote, I've spent some time in the hot and sunny Northern climes of Santiago and Valparaíso and ...

Lo siento Kirsten, Liesje, y Lisa....hay que encontrar otro chileno supermino ahora. ¿Existe? Hahahaha. The flight didn't feel so long because of the p...

Ce dimanche matin, ma landlady m'a servi un solide petit déjeuner, et s'inquiétait même que je ne mangeait pas tout ce qu'elle me servait (ça change de Don Carlos!!). A 8h50 j'ai pris bus/bateau/bus pour quitter l'île de Chiloé, direction nord vers la petite ville de Puerto Varas, située au bord du lac Llanquihue (quel nom exotique!). Dans le Go...

It was an eventful start to our trip to Puerto Varas, not only had Mich told the air steward at boarding that her name was not Michael but "Michelle El Presidente" (in respect of the current elections in Chile) but on being asked what drink she would like, asked for a cola. The air steward simply raised his eyebrow and said "What?". "A cola", sh...
