Back on dry land...

Monday 25th February

Hello folks, am back on dry land after my 4 day ferry trip from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt. Landed this morning and got straight on a bus to the island of Chiloe where I am now enjoying a beer whilst overlooking the evening sun over the ocean, nice. Was chatting to a spanish guy here at the hostel who didnt realise I was english for at least 20 minutes... so I was pleased my spanish lasted that long! However, it seems 20 minutes of me talkingh spanish very slowly and badly is my limit, going to work on that one!



The Navimag ferry was fun, made a change and the scenery was beautiful. Although I was pleased to fet back on dry land and have more options than reading, sleeping, writing or playing cards! It got a little boring for me on the last of the 4 days, although we saw quite a few whales which was exciting. We mainly saw big puffs of water and shiny backs but I saw a full on tail come out of the water which was brill.


A few photos as ever to give you a taste of what it was like. The Ship photo is a sister ship to the one I was on (ours was a bit bigger with 220 passengers).

Am now in Ancud in Chiloe (Chile's second largest island). Which looks like this:
Love it, its really chilled and tonight there is a fiesta so I'm going to dig out my dancing flip flops and tootle into town for that. Tomorrow might go and see more penguins, who knows...

hey t,

this blog is so unbelievably cool. i think you should serialise it or something when you get back so that you can retire on the winnings and go travelling again and write a blog...etc. what a great life that would be.

i feel tremendously jealous reading all this but v happy that you are getting to do some really cool stuff. have lots of fun and look forward to seeing you back in England when you can experience some proper excitement (none of this watching whales nonsense) in the world famous Oval Bar and Lounge.

see you soon and keep on having lots of fun.

luv,

yash

AWESOME photos. Really amazing. Obviously there is an unparalleled photographic talent afoot, but wow, you've set foot into some amazing spaces. Hope you'll bring back some glacier....
