Yet another 3hr bus journey to arrive at our next location. We arrived on a small mini bus and before long were at the bus drivers house as he had ensured us there was nowhere nicer and at such a good price as his ´cabaña´ or cabin. When we got to his place it turned out he was going to rent us his house, which was a bit strange as it was 3 bedrooms and a lounge and kitchen, slightly too big for Reet and I, however with the snipe of a price we couldnt look a ...

After a 3 hour bus journey we arrived at the wine town of Santa Cruz. We left the bus station thinking that the hostel we intended to stay in was only a 5minute walk. Walking in the hustle and bustle of this small town with baking heat is not surprisingly not much fun. After 30mins of traipsing around we finally fell upon Hostel Vida 2000. We had been told about this hostel and how it had a pyramid in the garden which you could stay in. Unfortunately this was al...

I returned the greeting in Spanish and ensured her that I was not Israeli. We headed from here to La Maison wh...

Puerto Varas was our new destination after Chiloe. We arrived checking that the police were not following us.

We turned up at our new hostel to be greeted by a load of dreadlocked crusties who were some travelling band of musicians, friends of the owner. They let us in and instructed that we take the first dormitory. They assured us that the owner would be back...

After docking we decided to jump on the first available bus to the an island that lies off the East of Puerto Montt. Our initial destination on Chiloe was Ancud however when we arrived into this small town it looked really run down and didnt seem like there was much to see, so after a quick exchange of cash with the bus driver we continued to our new destination of Castro. We arrived in Castro after about 4 hours on the bus with no place to stay. We had decided ...
