To the camping and back

When I reached the cafe at the harbor, Hristo was coming out from there. He had found that there were only 5 cabañas at Caleta Gonzalo and all of them are booked 5-7 months in advance. The cost too was a prohibitive one at 145000 CLP for 4 people. One could camp at the camping area for a fee but we didn't have tents or sleeping bags.
So, the only option available was either sleep under the wooden overhead shades without sleeping bags and blankets or go further to Chaitén some 60 kms away. There were no buses going to Chaitén for now but there could buses on the ferry bringing the rest of the people and vehicles that had been left behind when our ferry left for Caleta Gonzalo earlier. We knew there wouldn't be any bus on that ferry but there could be a free bus on the ferry reaching at 7 pm, going to Chaitén or we could hitchhike on the vehicles coming on the ferries if the bus wasn't there.
We went back to the camping area to get everyone and the bags back to the harbor to try and get to Chaiten.
Back at the cafe, we waited for the ferry to arrive while we had some food in the meantime.Read more
