Puerto Varden

We have now arrived in Puerto Montt bang in the middle of Chile and it feels as if we got off the plane in Switzerland by mistake. Fantastic!
This area has had a substantial German population for over a hundred years and there is Kuchen everywhere, Hotel Frau Holle and Kasslerbraten for dinner. Am in heaven. Oh and yes, it looks absolutely stunning as well as the big lake we are on is surrounded by three massive vulcanos, one of them over 3000m high. Its peak seems to be above the clouds most of the time and it looks like it is floating on air.

I cannot upload pictures for some reason but the link below has some nice ones. The photographer, Andreas, is the cool German owner of the hostel we are staying at - Casa Azul. My favourite so far - everything works and is clean! Amazing! I have almost forgotten that this is possible!

Tomorrow we are going on a lake cayaking expedition all day - very very scary!
I will report back!
