Flew south from Santiago 1 1/2 hours to Puerto Montt. Then negotiated the bus terminal and hopped on a bus to the island of Chiloe. Completely different vegetation down here. Lots of beech forest and have even seen a type of cabbage tree. Staying in Castro which is famous for its houses built over the water on stilts. Very colourful!
We now call Sam "Chico" as that is what the locals seem to call him. Graham seems quite tall amongst the Chileans. Not much English down here but we are coping with our pidgin Spanish.
Intending to go into the local national park tomorrow. Will keep you posted.
