OK, what will happen today?

Well, started out to Puerto Varas this morning to find an Internet cafe so I could post my last 4 blogs and Rob could get his email.  We found a great place on the lake and had lattes, juice, and blueberry tarts. Suzanne is having no problems as she got a SIM card and can use her phone.....no agenda after that.  

Off we went to a place Rob had been to years before.....it is a Petrohue Cascades near Volcano Orsorno.






We wanted to see how far up the volcano we could get.  We knew there was a ski lift at the top, but didn't know if it was running......beautiful views as we ascend

Lake Llanquihue below


And Orsorno above


Up, up, up and the ski lift was operating so after our lunch at the lodge we riode up the mountain.
Rob rode behind us...


Our shadow,,,,it looked like a desert up there





The red crater


Calbuco was still smoking across from us


I could see layer after layer of the Andes


It was cold up on the mountain and so iwe had hot chocolate and kuchen at the lodge before returning to camp!!  Another great day to remember!!!

I have been traveling since Monday evening at 5:30.  I am now at home...2am here (7 am Chile time)  that means from Puerto Montt to home was 61 1/2 hours.  I have had a wonderful trip, start to finish, but i am looking forward to getting in my bed!!
