Day 3: Dec 19th. Pounding headache, stressed in santiago, just wanted to get out. Couldn’t buy booze “todos los dias”, so when then? Ha ha. After several minutes trying to solve this question, we left without booze. Did a quick shop, got out of town, made it down to San Fernando? A little more shopping (this time with booze). Made it to our campsite near Linaro / San Antonio, Camping and Hospedaje “Sin ir mas lejos”. Chatted enough, got a spot, got to swim, got to drink a beer, got to unpack, got to get seriously nervous about my jacket and fleece being gone, found them. All I need now is sim card to work. Laptop wouldn’t work either but now it is going. Looking forward to dinner and the next drive. The town of Linaro had a big old fest I wanted to stop in for lunch, couldn’t find a place to park, also still have the beginners nervousness. About 1km before campground I found a lunch place, good stuff. Baby chickens EVERYWHERE.
Day 4: Drove down south to Pucon, great Volcano, lovely view. Stayed at a Hostel. Grabbed some food in town, kinda all you can eat pizza and a few beers and tried to plan the upcoming days.
Day 5: Stayed in Pucon, went to a national park to do some hiking but michelle wasn’t feeling to good so turned around. Went to a nice beach and then to a waterfall. Hubi got some “off-roading” in, but I think that is only the beginning…
What part of Jamaica?
And Beyond!
Next small stop was Encenadas around the corner from puerto Varas. Here… more waterfalls and volcanos (really quickly became the theme of this tour). Osorno volcano with Saltos de Petrohué and Cascada de la enomadoras (wasn’t that enormous).
So after this place, went further south, hit up a mechanic for all filters and oil change, complete inspection, all good except the dog that pee’d on two tires. Same dog, different pees. Direct on tire. With all the dogs down here, makes me wonder how often my tires get peed on. Mostly funny, the mechanic called in his daughter to speak English with us cause he was worried. All good!
Finally took the first ferry, and ended in Hornopiren for a cold rainy night… luckily I asked in the shop about our further ferry reservations, cause online I only booked people and not the car!
