Temuco to Puerto Montt

After a late start to the morning...still kicking that old jet lag...we made our way to the bus terminus and boarded the bus to Puerto Montt. Temuco was a pleasant climate, but it is getting colder as we go south. We also began making a list of the last minute items we need and things to be done before we hit the Antarctic.
