Lemuy Tuesday 16 May

Arrived late Sunday to Esmeralda´s in Chonchi on the island of Chiloé. The only other ppl at the hostel were David and Clare an english couple, so we headed off to the small island of Lemuy for the day on Tuesday. 4km walk to the free ferry accross to the island where we walked along the coast through farmland to a small church (we couldn´t get in though). We had a map drawn for us by Carlos the hostel owner unfortuately there was some misunderstanding (on my part) as to where we should expect to find the small villages and we thought we were 3.5km further away from our destination than we were. This resulted in the other two taking the ´quick´ way home and me continuing to the next village, luckily for me I wasn´t led astray for too long as my road soon ran out! So off I went to follow Clare and David who weren´t in fact walking in the direction they thought they were. So I hitched a ride in the back of a ute to catch them up and we got a ride to town where we then had some time to kill before the bus back to the hostel. Esmeralda´s; Esmeralda street Chonchi, Chiloé $5000/night, internet access, $4000 fish dinner breakfast on request, hostel in the middle of being renovated including improved heating. Carlos speaks english and should invest in some maps for the guests!
