The pacific is much colder on the other side!
We again tried our hand at surfing, this time in Pichilemu, a beautiful quiet town on the coast of Chile. This time we were in full steamers and booties.... its very cold on this side of the pacific. I´m told that its the usual get up, even in summer! I thought my hands were actually quite warm until I tried taking off my wetsuit at the end of the lesson. It was rather comical and the instructer ended up having to ´undress me´!
After our surfing lesson, we headed up to Punta de Lobos for sunset. There was a perfect wave formed off the point with a couple of surfers showing us how it should be done. The national surfing championships are held here every year and they also have a tow in championship. Lucky for us the waves were quite small for our lesson! The sunset was beautiful. I just love the sea....
We are travelling through Chile on Pachamama by bus, a great company that offers a hop on hop off service and takes the scenic route through Chile. Pichilemu is our first overnight stop. Tomorrow we head to Pucon... a long travel day, but the day after we can climb a volcano!
