Christmas in the Chilean Andes
After a pretty uncomfortable bus ride from Santiago (Chile can learn a thing or two about busses from Argentina) I arrived in this little town called Curacautin. Anyway it was a bit ¨League of Gentlemen¨ local shop for local people and all that jazz but the scenery was awesome. Spent a week at a Swiss run guest house eating great food and walking. Even tried to walk up a snow capped volcano with new Swiss friends, Tommy and Betina who were pretty much expert walkers coming from Switzerland and all that, but got beaten back by high winds and the fact that it was bloody cold. A beautiful place and somewhere to explore more another time.
