Chiloe...eventually!

After one of the coldest nights of camping yet, we got up before the sun rose to take some pictures of the homes that used to be beachfront property. The lesson here is if you're going to live near volcanoes, build on high ground!

A look inside:

On our way to the ferry dock, we drove through town looking at more devastated homes. Check out some of these homes. Amazing but sad:

Mother Nature is a powerful lady!

All that rush just to find that there was no boat waiting for us! We never got the complete story but there was something about the wind and the tides. We were supposed to be at the dock for 9h to leave by 10h. At 12h they came to tell us we had time to go into town for lunch. By 16h we finally pushed off.

It's all part of the adventure. I didn't mind waiting but it was the not knowing when we could expect to go that was most challenging for me. The '30 more minutes' game does get tiring.

Once on-board I happily watched a couple of movies and was eager to reach land so we could check out Chiloe. Silly girl! The adventure isn't over.

Because of the 4h delay, the tide is out and we can't get the vehicles off the boat until after midnight. Why am I not surprised?!?! So here we are in a pub, waiting it out, drinking a beer, getting a wifi fix and saying yet again "¿Qué puede hacer?" Gotta love it!

Finally on Chiloe Island:
