Off from Chaitén finally

We came back to the village and had our lunch. After that I stayed back to sleep for a while on the grass along the promenade while Hristo, Maria and Melinda went to the sea shore to see the beach.
At 4:40 pm, I started walking towards Chaitur to catch the 5 pm bus. I couldn't see Hristo or Maria anywhere near the shore. Melinda reached back around 4:50 pm and told that she had seen Hristo and Maria going to sleep on the beach. We both walkers to Chaitur and were told by Nicklas to wait for a while and that there were other locals that need to be given priority. We didn't listen to him and just took our bags and dumped them into the bus. We were putting Hristo and Maria's bags in when they reached exactly at 5 pm. They had put an alarm for 4:40 pm bit had miscalculated the time it would take to reach back. We just went into the bus and sat there. It was almost full with only 7-8 places left. Nicklas, not wanting to face us, sent the bus driver to talk to us to get us off the bus. Maria was so pissed with this whole thing that she told the driver that we were not getting off the bus for anything and he could go and call the carabineros if he wanted. The poor guy was shocked and said it was fine, we could sit and he'll see what could be done.
Eventually, the bus left at around 5:20 pm, with all of us on board 😁
We reached Puerto Cárdenas at around 6:15 pm. From here, the Chilean navy had arranged for boats to go across the Lake Yelcho where a connecting bus would take us to Futaleufu.
The boats were very small and by the time our turn came, they were all full. The 4 of us and some other passengers waited there for the boats to come back. The day was very beautiful and sunny and we could see the glaciers and the mountains till far away. The views were amazing.Read more
