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.

Navimag boat delayed

We are still in Puerto Natales. We packed, checked out and only then found out that our Navimag boat was delayed because of a huge storm. So we went back to the same lodging, check-in again and unpacked (sort of). But the boat is here today and we have checked in this morning and will board at 7pm tonight!

In retrospect it was a blessing in disguise that Janine got sick and we left the Torres del Paine National Park. According to other travellers, it has been raining, ice raining, wind raining, snow raining and gale force winds blew since we left. Trees blew over on people`s tents and tent poles snapped... and did I mention that it rained?!
