Chiloe

Greetings from Chiloe. We left St. George's at 7:45pm last night and have just arrived at our destination. More details on that latter. The landscape was really impressive. I got to see the volcano that erupted the other dayat around 6:30 this morning. It was still smoking. The other highlight was the sea loin swimming off the coast as wee took the boat from the mainland to Chiloe. The land is vibrant green farmland with water all around. I will try to post pictures later, assuming that the little town I am going to has an internet cafe. We are staying in the large town tonight (yes, I admit, I'm not quite sure were I am - I was shown were we are on a map, but there were no names of towns on it).

How close to the volcano were you? Did you get any pictures?

I was told that we were 100km from the volcano. We could see it from the highway. I heard that it erupted again the other day (I've just gt back from rural Chiloe and am in Queilen). I´ll be heading back tonight. I should be able to see it again!
