Chile day 3
Thursday, 19. April 2007, 03:42:39
After breakfast (ham, cheese, toast and jam, always) we had time just for a brief walk.
Today we are moving south:
our next stop is Puerto Montt.
Flight with local airline was very pleasant. Hey, they serve food, nice one too! And wine, for free. No, I did not drink despite my NY resolution, but as an option...
In US nowadays you are lucky to get a drink... no, I don't want to complaint, we don't fly to eat in the air, I just can remember those nice snacks we used to get once...
Anyway, flight was nice, view of the Andes from the air mesmerizing... We trying to guess which one is the famous Volcano Osorno...
Hotel was nice and clean in so-so part of the town, close to the bus station, so we decided to go and explore right after we got there.
About 15 min away (500 pesos=$1) by a local bus is a beautiful village Puerto Varas, facing the lake and overlooking 2 volcanoes: Osorno and "Shame on me, I cannot remember". Place has a lot of German flavour because of German and Austrian immigrants from 1800's. Roses are everywhere, some places still have signs written in German.
Some of my favourite photos from the trip are taken on this day.
And there is a photo that one person may recognize as familiar!
We ended day with a great dinner: fish, of course. And I sipped some good local wine!

They're all great but that picture of the red car in front of the volcano really caught my eye!
Looking forward to seeing more!

Are you going to make album with these photos so we can see them in larger versions?
