Chiloé

*gulp* After posting regularly all last year, things fell in a heap and it's going on three months since I last wrote y'all. But to make up for it I have cool photos of my recent holiday to Chiloé. Yeah!

We booked all our accomodation in advance - except for the first night in Valdivia which we ended up spending 1) in a pub until its 3:30am closing, 2) outside a service station waiting for the bus terminal to open, 3) in the bus terminal (photographic evidence above). It was mostly fun.

Things got more civilised the next day in Frutillar.

En route to the island of Chiloé (same latitude as Tasmania!)

First night in Dalcahue

Achao

Castro, Feria Costumbrista - lots of gourmet salmon, potatoes, jams, beer etc etc It could've been down the Huon or Channel!

                       Plus toninas (dolphins, essentially) jumped and played alongside the boat.

Last few days in Huillinco

Chau Chiloé!
