J: we arrived at Puerto Madryn before sunrise, we strolled along the beach front as the sun came up which was nice, then found a hostel and caught up on some sleep. Once refreshed we wondered the town trying to replace my very broken flip-flops which are only together with the wonder that is duck-tape. But every shop said my feet were too big and sent me away, damn these little footed countries! So we just stocked up on some shopping, rented a car for the followi...

J: We then bought some supplies and set off on the return journey. We were open to finding hitchhikers along the route to help pay for petrol with us, we soon found a couple, they spoke no English and only wanted to go up the road 30 minutes so we took them and tried to practice our clearly not good enough Spanish with them, they shared their matè tea with us and through charades and a translator app we were able to communicate.

S: so we finally arrive in Pucon at midnight after a very long two days. A random Spanish lady at the bus station had a place to stay with a good price, it turned out to be a six person lodge to ourselves.
