Well G´day all It´s been a busy few weeks since our last entry, lots to report so here goes. LB´s last entry had us in Pucon, Chile at the base of volcano Villarrica. Pucon is a very pretty small resort town (some may even call it quaint).The volcano is only 10km from the town and dominates the skyline.LB won the contest (see last blog) and we caught the chairlift which got us part way up the mountain.We then had to don hats, gloves, crampons and an ice ...
