Day 1
Last minute arrival in Chile!
March 17, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Things got pretty crazy on my travel to Chile!

I was suppose to go to Chile on Monday morning, but got sick and wanted to wait till I am completly recovered. 🦠

Then, they announced that Chile would close all borders on Wednesday due to the Corona Virus and so I had to react quickly. 😵

I bought a new ticket for the bus and hoped to cross the border before they close it.
In the end, it worked out and I arrived in Valparaiso at around 7pm.

I met another German girl, who also works in the hostel and we both walked to the hostel together.Read more

Day 4
Visit at the beach
March 20, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Even tho it is Corona time and most people stay home, we decided to do a little walk after lunch and go to the beach. 🏖️

Because it is Corona time, the beach was so empty!! 😍

We even saw many sealions on a platform in front of the beach, chilling in the sun. 🌅

At around 5.40pm we left, because my shift started at 6.30pm - night shift 😎👍Read more

To fight the boring isolation in the hostel, we decided to play Bingo (or Binjo) together! 🥳

Do I have to say that I won at Binjo 2 times?! 😎✌️Read more

Day 17
First selfmade Röstis
April 2, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
I had the idea to cook another typical dish from my area, which is known and sold throughout Germany: Röstis or Kartoffelpuffer. 🇩🇪

Mariel and I bought all the ingredients on the local market in front of the hostel. We also wanted to serve applesauce, which we would also make ourselves. 🍏
You can buy applesauce here in the jumbo, but it's very easy to make and so we chose the cheaper and tastier way. 😍

In the evening, we peeled the apples first and made the applesauce and then we made the Röstis. We fried them in a pan with hot oil. 👍

Unfortunately, the Röstis were very brown and were not as crispy as at the Christmas markets in Germany ... but everyone was thrilled and we all enjoyed this delicious food very much! 🧡💚💛Read more

Day 27
Easter at the MUFFIN hostel
April 12, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Last minute, as always (in this case in the morning time) I came up with the sweet idea to surprise the others in the hostel and buy some chocolate or so. 🤭

So I went to the market and bought 8 bunny bags and some chocolate 🍫

During my German class in the morning, I cut pieces of papers to a bunny shape and wrote "happy easter" in each language, together with the name.

While everybody looked for the golden easter eggs Mariel hide after breakfast, I took the filled bunny bags and put them on everybodys bed as a gift from me and the easter bunny! 😂😎😋

Everybody was surprised, happy and had a great time ❤️ We took some pics together and chilled the rest of the day.
The next evening, Kait and I coloured some eggs in the cheap version with Markers.

Thank you for this amazing easter time together inside, while the world outside is getting crazy. 😍🥰Read more

Day 34
Sunday Funday at the beach
April 19, 2020 in Chile ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
After my two German classes in the morning, we had another French class with the Frenchis and spoke about the numbers and learned two new verbs.

Then I had a small lunch with Mariel on the terrace in the sun. 😎🌞

Around 4.30 pm I walked to the beach to enjoy the last day of warm weather here. Days are getting colder here now ...🥶 Since #fuckingcorona I have to wear a facemask now 😑

I met Bugra and Kait and later some of their friends joined us.
Kait and I decided to run into the ocean and swim a little. But the current was really strong and the water cold, so after a short swim, we returned to the others and enjoyed the sun and later the sunset at the beach. 🌅

After some hours at the beach, we returned to the hostel for Sofias tomato soup and a round of "time's up" afterwards. 🤗Read more
