La Serena

As you can see by the boys comments the Penguin and Sealion National park was a great success! We were out for 3 and a half hours and just saw so much! Sam was really excited about the dolphins swimming around the boat and jumping out of the water! It was a stunning spot at the end of a dirt/sand road about 45km from the main highway. We found a wonderful place to stay and the owner kind of adopted us and insisted on taking us for a drive to a beautiful beach and then showed us around and showed the boys how to catch shrimps!
As we drove back to the main road we came across about 10 LLamas and then a bit further on a Chilean Fox (el Zorro) crossed the road infront of us.

We are now in a small city called La Serena which is near the coast and is one of Chile´s oldest cities. It is very nice with lots of colonial buildings and churches.
We arrived at some cabins hoping to stay but thay had just rented the last one.....no problem though, the owner said he had a house in town we could have for the same price so we followed him there to have a look! We now have a 3 bedroom house in a nice safe, quiet area, walking distance to everything! Perfecto!

Have been to the big supermarket called Jumbo and are having steak on the BBQ with some funny looking vegetables that we can´t identify for tea. We also have some ice cold corona so all is well!
