Our four day four night trip aboard the Navimag was lots of fun and very interesting. Aboard we met 7 other backpackers from various parts of the UK and ended up having a fabulous time together. From late night card games to ´gay raves´ (the 6 guys get drunk, run outside into the freezing rainy night and strip to their boxers, and hat if you are james, and jump around like idiots to the magical techno inside their heads while us girls laugh and cry and film as much as we can) it was trully an experience I wont forget...the entire boat trip, not just the rave. Saw some seals following the back of the boat one day. Another entire day was spent with us all, slightly hungover, very sea sick lying and reading while the boat rocked and swayed in all directions over the very choppy pacific ocean. First experience in the Pacific and it wasnt all that great. Nobody got ill but we definitely all felt it.
After a 3 hour sleep on our last night the boat company very rudely kicked us off at 7:30 am and dropped us in the middle of no where in Puerto Montt where we immediately got on a 6 hour bus ride to Pucon. There, we all got a hostel together which we basically (other than two other people which we never see) have the run of. Lots of ´family´ meals and games. As a result of much confusion between me and another Anna I have been designated the nickname of ´triangle´ (Bermuda triangle, obviously).
Tomorrow, counting the weather is good we are all going to climb a volcano (6 hours up if you dont take the ski lift, 4 if you do....clearly I will be taking the lift). Once we get to the top the ride down takes 1 hour down....on slides! Should be a lot of fun, if I make it. Then to relax we are going to the hot springs!
Hope for good weather!
