Today we were supposed to be up at 6:30am ready for our hiking trip but the others struggled a bit and it wasn't until 7am we managed to have everybody up and ready for breakfast. It was 8:30am before we finally got everything ready and loaded in the car ready to go. The drive out to Osorno Volcano took nearly two hours and I managed to get a little more sleep on the way out which was nice. Arriving to the park we were met by a turquoise coloured lake crossing in...

Today I had no real plan so after a little sleep-in I got up and surfed the Internet a bit before deciding what to do with my day. As the sun was out I decided to go for a bit of a walk and enjoy the sunshine whilst its out. I stopped at a little shop and brought a few things for lunch before making my way back to Karina's.

After a bit of a sleep-in I got up and waited around for Loreto to come from her parents house to pick me up for breakfast. At about 10am she came and got me and we made our way back to her parents for a late breakfast of fruit salad. I then helped with some cooking and c...
