Living with the crazies.

Tuesday 25th- Friday 28th January We had movies that were in English on our bus-finally! This might not seem like something write home about, but let me tell you that normally they’re in Spanish with Spanish subtitles! Go figure. We were so happy being able to follow the movie’s plot that we...

Missed communication

Saturday 22nd- Tuesday 25th Jan We arrived in Valdivia early afternoon and started our way into its central business district, which was of course to be near the ‘Plaza De Arms‘. Before we could leave the bus terminal we were approached by a lady who promised a room that was ‘comfortably...

Gipfelsturm

Ich warte, auf die Pizza und auf den Bus. Kurz Zeit ein paar Zeilen über die letzten Tage zu schreiben. Pucon ist ne Stadt für sich. Ich wohne in einem tollen Hostel "Nativa" direkt gegenüber vom Casino. Die Straßen sind gesäumt von Hostels, Restaurants, Kneipen, Travel Agencies und natürlich...

Too much beer?

Tuesday 18th- Saturday 22nd Jan A four hour bus ride from Chileo will get you to the lake side holiday town of Puerto Varas, only half an hour above Puerto Montt, but a whole lot more picturesque. We made it to our hostel, which had been lovingly pre-booked for us by Mirta in Ancud. This hostel...

Kurzer Abstecher

An den vergangenen 2 Tagen habe ich einen kurzen Abstecher nach Valdivia gemacht. Ist eine mittelgroße Studentenstadt nah an der Küste. Dienstag Mittag angekommen und in einem echt schönen Hostel eingecheckt, das so aussah wie ich mir ein Hostel vorstelle. Tolle Atmosphäre durch das alte Haus....

Our big adventure!

Monday 17th Jan We left Castro early so we could get to Ancud before eleven that morning. We went back to Mirta and Peter’s hostel and were greeted with smiles, hugs and kisses. “You are home! Welcome home!” said Mirta as she showed us to the same plain room that we where stuffed in previously....

Alemania en Chile

Also hier fühlt man sich als Deutscher mal so richtig heimisch... Am Wochenende war Prositfest, nächstes WE ist Bierfest und irgendwann ist noch der "Dia del Kuchen". Dazu noch das Panorama mit dem Lago Llanquihue und dem Vulkan Osorno im Hintergrund, wirklich ein sehr schönes Städtchen. Die...

Mit der Navimag durch die Fjörde Patagoniens

Ahoi! Nach 4 Tagen wirklich absolutem Kontrastprogramm zum Park und ein paar Stunden Busfahrt von Puerto Montt gerade in Castro auf Chiles größter Insel namens Chiloe angekommen. Kontrastprogramm weil: Es war reinstes chillen angesagt, den ganzen Tag nur abhängen, lesen, aufs nächste Essen...

Chiloe's capital city

Wed 12th-Sunday 16th Castro, Chiloe’s capital, was a quiet escape for us. We spent a couple of days chilling out, looking around the town at its icons and watching too many bad movies on TV as we had a bit of rain over a couple of days. Again, a very small town, but was bigger then Ancud and...

Parque Nacional Torres del Paine

Ein fröhliches Hallo aus der Tristesse der patagonischen Einsamkeit! Ich habe es Samstag Nacht dann doch noch trotz Straßenblockaden und Generalstreik aus dem Nationalpark nach Puerto Natales geschafft. Hier steht bereits seit Mitte vergangenen Woche alles still, da man gegen die Abschaffung...
