Our World Journey

Chile

This blog decribes our 39 days of travel through Chile and Easter Island (26 March 2006 - 4 May 2006). Besides the amazing oppurtunity to explore Easter Island we also walked the Torres del Paine national park, took a trip on a cargo boat, saw amazing local culture,climbed a snow-capped active volcano, took horses into the countryside, floated in salt lakes, saw geysers spouting at 4300m.a.s. and checked out the driest place on earth - the Atacama desert.

"Los Simpsons" and wine

Later today/tonight we will board the Navimag ferry that will sail through the Patagonian fjords to Puerto Montt, some 1000km north. We hope to enjoy some warmer temperatures over there (at least in the double digits!).

We had a great rest and watched 3 episodes of "Los Simpsons" every night. We also sampled some of the local wine. Not that I am an expert in any way, but I really did not like the Santa Emiliana Cabernet Sauvignon (it was the cheapest wine in the store). Much better was the "I cannot remember the name"-Merlot, in a 1.5l box with a lid. Even much better still is my friend Pieter's Blank Bottle wines (for those in South Africa). If you have not had some of his wine, shame on you...
