Been a few days since i{ve been able to get to a computer but having a blast!!
Recap:
Tuesday Bus to Pucon left 10:35pm
Wednesday Arrived in Pucon 8:30am checked into my lovely hostel wandered around town (bout 10 blocks by 5) with an Aussie bloke (Paul) from my hostel and the English couple I met in Santiago and Valparaiso (small country obviously!) walked along the beach by the lake, very beautiful, awesome weather. Lunch at nice restaurant and the four of us booked climb of Mt Villarrica for Thursday.
Thursday Climbed a live volcano! An hour walking up scree then 3 hours with Crampons and an Ice pick up last years snow. Ski season is supposed to start 1 July here and usually there{s heaps of new snow beginning of May so we{re really lucky, unfortunately there was no visible lava (it{s been receding the last few days) but amazing views into Argentina and lots of other Volcanos and Mountains. Slid most of the way down on the snow, very cool! Only 2 hours to get down. Watched the sunset over the lake then had a few drinks at a really nice bar in town had Mexican for dinner (2 for 1) really really tasty. Then early to bed.
Friday Sorting out what to do next, the weather is supposed to be getting worse but it{s another beautiful day in Pucon so might go for a little walk along the river (spent a lot yesterday need guide to go up volcano) then Further south Sat or Sun.
Time now: 10:50am Friday 12th May
