Max & Dean Year Out 05/06
Hola everyone - Managed to drag ourselves away from Argentina and back in Chile for a few days.
Acted like true backpackers and went directly to the bus station from the airport with no idea where we were going. Decided to go South and head for Pucon which is in the Lake District. 10 hours on the bus, cold and damp. We managed to get the last 2 seats together which were at the back, practically in the toilet. Lovely ! To make matters worse, 50% of the male population decided 'Why pay to use the toilet in the bus stn, when we have a free one we can use as soon as we board' I am sure you can imagine - the smell was pretty awful and did not get any better. We were not happy bunnies - but what can you expect for seven quid....?
Was so glad to get off - am really not looking forward to the return journey tomorrow :-(
Pucon however is a very pretty town. Shame about the fact that it's winter here tho'- very cold and rainy. There's an active volcano around here somewhere - but we haven't seen it yet, due to the low cloud and lashing rain. Hope that we can get back in time for our flight to Peru....
Feck it...We're stuck! Our bus was canx 10mins before it was due to leave. Other bus companies reckon they're going to Santiago, but as the one we were supposed to use have told us that the highway has been cut off because of the river flooding, we've decided not to chance it - as we'll just end up being chucked off the bus God only knows where.
Now it remains to be seen if we can get back in time for our flight. b*****, b*****, b*****...............
