Waking up way to early after sleeping in a ¨room¨ (more like a hall) with about 14 beds. Wasn´t so bad as our friends in the van are lovely people and we spent a long time cooking together and playing ¨Yaniv¨ before going to sleep :)
After waking up we had to go through the annoying procedure of crossing the border into Chile, which means taking out all the bags and scanning them for fruits and vegetables... I dare you to sneak an apple into Chile!
From then on - everything seemed unreal. Just look at the view! I´ve never seen such a beautiful road. Wherever you look - blue skies, blue-green-turquise lagoons and green hills. It was simply amazing to drive through all this nature. I still think they have special lagoon-ink that they spread around to make all these colors. Mixed with snowy mountains it makes the perfect scenery for a movie, I don´t know which one...

After the beautiful scenic route we ended up next to one of the huge lakes. We took a boat to see the ¨Marble caves¨ - a spectacular natural phenomenon where the lake water carve their way through the marble mountains and create interesting shapes and caves. One of these mountains is interestingly shaped as a dog´s head profile... The wheather was lovely and the boat ride was much fun. The shapes and colors are incredible, but on the way back I got splashed as I sat at the wrong side of the boat... I came out of it completely wet but happy :)

Until next time!
