hey guys, here I am again...
I`m sitting in a hostel in Punta Arenas right now...uploading pictures doesn´t work somehow but I will keep trying!
Lets start with my first couch-surf experience in Puerte Montt. Martha and I arrived there on Friday afternoon and had to wait to get the exact adress from our couchsurfer. It was raining so we sat in a cafe and waited...after we talked to Hugo (the couchsurfer) and got the address we went there and left all our stuff. We talked a little bit and went to bed. He lived in an apartment in the 11th floor with an awesome view over the city and the port. We had a room for ourselves with two huge beds!! In the morning we said goodbye to him and had a nice breakfast with coffee ect. It´t amazing how fast and how much trust he had in us. We were complete strangers and stayed in his apartment without his attendence. But I guess that´s how Couchsurfing works...
Well, the next day we went to Ancud, a city on island "Chiloe". It takes you about two and half hours with bus and ferry and its a beautiful ride. There were just a few people in Chiloe doing Couchsurfing and we had the luck to have found Romina, who lives in Ancud and had room for two people. She was really nice. She picked us up from the bus terminal, took us to some real nice places in Chilo and invited us to have our first real chilean barbecue with her family. On the way back from one of the places she showed us we got stuck with the car...haha...we didn´t have any signal and the next neighboor was one hour walk away. Since the car just wouldn´t move, Romina walked to the next neighboor, who pulled us out of there one hour later. Adventures day there ;)
We stayed one more night with Romina and left for Osorno at lunch time. Since our bus to Punta Arenas left the next day from Osorno we had to stay there for one night. The city isn´t actually worth to see and the host in the place we stayed was not very hospitable either. It was just for one night so we didn´t care that much.
At 12 am the next day our bus to Punta Arenas left...30 hours in the bus!! I would say : "Record for now"
It wasn´t as bad as I expected it to be, but still pretty long. It´s the cheapest way to get from one place to the other so we accepted it ;)
We found a pretty nice hostal with nice people in Punta Arenas. Lots of Israels...apparently there are tons of them at this time around Southamerica, because its "the" big thing to do after returning from the army.
We are waiting for Max, a friend from Santiago, to arrive here and then we will do all the things you can do around here--> like see Penguins and maybe whales!!
That´s all again
I will keep tryin to upload those pictures for you
Saludos,
Nina
