10/11/2013 Stage 61 Ensenada - Pargua
 |
| The cabin (our home for the night) |
A slightly
boring day at the cycling office. I suppose you have to have them
every now and again. After the most wonderful day yesterday, today's
120 odd km linked us to the next exciting bit, Chiloe Island. We
followed the lake for ages but it was a fairly overcast day and
didn't do it justice. The whole day we cycled on paved road. It
wasn't too steep or excessively windy so we just clocked up the miles
on the hard shoulder of a fairly busy road until we got to Pargue
where we ran out of land. In Puerto Varas we met Isabel and Hervi on
a tandem. Sadly I have lost their contact details. Loose bits of
paper are useless. Now you have got them and then they are gone. We
had first heard about Isabel and Hervi in Cusco so the world really
is a handkerchief (the spanish way ofsaying it's a small world)
Tomorrow we will make the crossing by boat but a hostal for us
tonight. After the wonderful evening with Julien, Marlene and
Alejandro we thought we were doing ok with our Spanish but we
struggle to understand the majority of Chileno's which is very
disappointing. We need a sympathetic Chileno to talk to who is
prepared to slow his speech down a bit to get the hang of it again.
