It was Halloween and we celebrated the way it has to be... with candies!



Thats Stripes by the way, the new toy voyager at home. He's from Switzerland and loves candies just like me



Happy halloween!

Hola a todos!

The weather has been beautiful, mild temperatures and soft breezes, so we decided it was a perfect for sailing!

We headed to the port area of the city and started looking for someone to take us to the sea...

First we found these big boats but they were to transport residents of an island back home... So we had to keep searching.



Down in that little dock there were some boats, so we went to ask





And success! They said yes, so we got on a boat and started sailing!





First we went between the mainland and an island.



Back there you can see Chinquihue Staduim, it is the most southern professional stadium in the world.



And a warship back there as well.





Here we reached the sea, it's a gulf but we weren't between the island and the mainland anymore so the waves got bigger. The boat moved up and down and also to the sides and it felt great!





Now back there you can see the city again. This is where we started returning around the island that we first were sailing behind of. Island Tenglo.





When we reached the port area again, we saw these big machines to load the exportation ships, and also big ships.





And when we were back again in the land, we went to a market to buy some seafood, look at this variety!



And in the end of the day we walked through a famous craftmarket called Angelmó.



It was a great day!
I loved the sea and the waves

Hello all!

I heard that there were archaeological excavations in a city near Puerto Montt where they found fossils of different animals from the ice age. So I suggested that we could make a trip there and Leslie agreed! So here we go!



After more than one hour traveling we arrived to the city of Osorno.



This is the main square of the city.



The coat of arms of the city was drawn on the ground.



What a beautiful cathedral!





Look at this street... looks real, doesn't it? Well, it's actually inside of a shopping center!



The fake sky almost fooled me 



And finally we went to the park I was waiting for, here they have statues of the extinct animals whose fossils have been found around.

These are Gomphotheres, family of the mamooths who lived here until 10,000 years ago.



And this is a Milodon. A herbivore mammal from the pleistocene as well who also got extict around 10,000 years ago.



Bye bye!

This day wasn't so nice in the morning, but as the hours went by the clouds flew away and we saw the blue blue sky.

But enough weather talking, let me tell you about this trip

We woke up early early and went to the island of Chiloé.

The first place we visited in there was the Fortress Agüi, built by the spanish to fight the pirates back in 1779.
See how I'm learning?







After visiting the fortress we headed to Puñihuil, a beach with Natural Monument declared islands



This is it, what a nice view!





I mentioned that these islands are a Natural Monument... and you might be wondering why, so let me tell you. It's because here penguins and many other species come to mate!

And of course, there are tours to sail around the islands, so we took one



Can you see the little white/black points behind me? Well, they're the penguins.
There are also many of them up there on the grass, but they're tiny!



There you can see some.



Sadly the little penguins weren't as photogenic as I am so we couldn't get any great shot of them, but hey! At least I saw them! 



It was a very nice day!

Hohoho!

Today we went out for the last christmas shopping, the sun was hot so we needed lots of sunscreen!



In the bus station they had this big nice tree



After shopping we took a walk by the promenade, but the sun was very strong so it wasn't long. There we saw a cruise visiting.



And before going back home we took a walk around these old trains exposition 



And then we arrived home to celebrate christmas!



Merry Christmas everyone!

We made a trip to a little village called Caleta La Arena.









Here we took a ferry to sail 45 minutes south, back there you can see the Andes mountain range.





After the 45 minutes we arrived to a little beach and walked there.





And then we sailed back.





Bye bye!

We used this nice sunny weekend to escape the city and headed to a beach that is around 1.5hr away from home, Hueñalihuen beach, what a tongue twister!





After driving through small roads leading west, we found the beach!



Its nice and very lonely, I enjoy lonely beaches much more than crowded ones!



Look at these things!





I tried talking to these sheep fellows saying "bääääh bäääh" only to learn that spanish speaking sheeps say "meeeh meeeh" instead!



We spent the night at the beach, next day photos yet to come 
Bye bye!

Our second day in the beach we went for a walk.  The wind was a little cold but walking we warmed up.



The rocks in this beach are unique, most of them perfectly oval shaped and either black or of exotic colors like red, yellow, green, pink or mixes of all of them!



Look at the ones Frog -Leslie's travel partner- picked up!





Don't you think this rook looks like a side face??











Im Peaches the brave  I crossed a river with no help 



By the end of our walk the day turned grey and the wind chilly!



Back at our camping place some pigs came to visit



Aaaaaaand another day ended

After the last day in Hueñalihuen we decided to explore some other nearby beaches. For that first we had to go up the coastal mountain range.





That beach down there is called "casa piedra" (stone house).



And the road to get there, as you can see, is very small!







After Casa Piedra we headed to another beach, so up the coastal mountain range again.



This is Coi-Coi, what a cute name for a beach 



Sadly the fog covered the sky. But it was anyway a very nice day!
Greetings!
