Arrived in Puerto Montt!

We're here! A few hours delay due to the rough seas but we arrive at the port safely and watch the docking of the ship. A short bus ride to the station and we say goodbye to half of our newfound friends heading off on new adventures.

The rest of us are in town for one night and explore everything Puerto Montt has to offer.. which doesn't take too long! First port of call was lunch... We start walking towards the markets however it starts raining heavily and in the confusion we are bustled into a small "restaurant" which turns out to be the third floor of someones' house! Fortunately we have Lorena there to translate. Salmon all round and a seafood soup for Suki.

Bellies full we head off to the fish markets to check out the locals in action. The port is located next to one of the largest salmon farms in the world and here we find mussels the size of my hand and salmon going for equivalent to $6 per kg.. too bad we can't stockpile it!

More rain into the evening so we find refuge at the nearby mall and arrive just in time to catch the new Avengers movie and some "doggis" for dinner :-) The National Park is closed due to the recent volcano eruptions so we are off to Valdivia tomorrow!Les mer
