Jobs and chilling

Breakfast this morning was great fun. Three Brazilians, Jun from China, the Spanish speaking owner, Rodrigo and us two. One of the Brazilians could speak a bit of Spanish so was busy translating what Rodrigo was saying into English and Portuguese and Jun was trying to keep up. It transpired that there was a slight earthquake this morning when we were all in bed. Rodrigo was up preparing the breakfast when he noticed the light fittings swaying and the door rattling.

The morning was spent doing some jobs. One of which was sorting our journey to the airport next Wednesday for our flight to Santiago. There is no public transportation to the airport. We have to get a bus which goes to Temuco and ask to get off when we are 5 minutes away from the airport and book a taxi to collect us from the side of the road. For us that means a 5.30am bus and the hope that the taxi will be there at 7.00! Well we have bought the tickets and booked the taxi. Fingers crossed.

Next on the list was to book our flight over the volcano. This involved Rodrigo lending us his phone, several emails etc but we booked provisionally for Saturday early evening. Then we had to find Jun to ensure he was committed. I knew he spent his days on the beach at the lake and luckily we spotted him quickly. Cash sorted, flight booked - we are all very excited. Jun likes champagne so he opened a bottle for us to share at lunchtime! I also succeeded in finding a horse trek so that's booked for Monday afternoon.

Martin and I went to the lake to chill for the afternoon. There was a 5 a side football tournament for youngsters which entertained us for a while.

Oh yes and there was a dog too but a friendly one.
