Summary

Hejsan! Ciao! Hola!

So this trip has so far been totaly wonderful. We started out in Santiago and stayed two nights with my fathers friends son Miguel and his family. Miguel picked us up at the airport and let us stay in his house. They where so nice and gave us a pefect start in Chile.

We tried to take it slow in the begining but it is hard to find smaller roads that are with pavement instead of gravel so we have had two long days on a highway and our only day with rain was one of these days, less fun.
It is easy to find campingspots and our maindish in the evenings are pasta with toamtoesauce and cheese. Lunch is bread, coockies and choclates.

Places that was beautiful and worth a resting day was in Puerto Octay and Ensenada both small cities with great views over the two volcanos Osorno and Calbuco and next to beautiful lakes.
No problems with the bikes so far and no punctures. The big problem here are all the dogs that chase us down the roads sometimes. Maybe just for playing but some look pretty threatful and makes us pedal as fast as we can.
We are now in Ancud a city on the Isola of  Chiloe and it is beautiful here so we are hanging out for about two days. We are later biking south and taking a boat to Chaiten to start the carretera austral.

Villarica-Conaripe 44km
