And onto Chile

I did think Patagonia was completely stunning until we spent 36 hours on another bus trying to get out of it. The problem with Patagonia is that it is big and moonscape is only so interesting for so long. Oh, how a few hours of dead leg and compressed farts change things.

We spent a couple nights in Bariloche – a Swiss style city in the pine forests – hiking and enjoying the views. And then got back onto a bus on our way to Chile.

We crossed the Andes and high-tailed it to Pucon, an adventure paradise tucked up in the mountains among forests, rivers, lakes and a smoking volcano.

Coushsurfing with a couple of skydiving instructors I guess it was only inevitable that one of us would end up jumping out of a plane…
