Day 13 – Puerto Varas

Thursday 31st January, 2008 1 Comment

Bit of a late start today after such a tiring day yesterday. A bit of late noise from the other hostel guests, but surprisingly little noise from outside – it’s nice to be in a small town rather than a large city (or noisy tourist trap). Breakfast was a crusty bread roll with butter and … [Read More »]

Day 10 – Bariloche

Monday 28th January, 2008 3 Comments

A quiet day today. Got up just before 9am – a bit of a quieter night, but still quite a bit of noise coming in through the open window. Breakfast was the same fare – toasted baguette, croissant, and corn flakes. The forecasts had said today was going to be hot – and it was warming … [Read More »]
