Monsieur Ma-Na-Ma-Na!

Today was a full day. We went from Castro to Puerto Varas, through the northern part of Chiloe Island, another ferry across to the mainland and then a couple hours further north to Lago Llanquihue. It wasn't all driving. Along the way we saw and did a lot, such as:

-The Castro Museum of Modern Art.

They were closing for the season but had a fair number of exhibits still there. Many were beyond me (!) but I really like this one made from reclaimed wood.


-Dalcahue is a picturesque town we were told not to miss which had another of the wooden churches...

...and an outdoor gym!

-The ferry from Chacao to Paragua which was efficiency as its best and a nice contrast to the Chaiten ferry! This brought our time on Chiloe Island to an end as we returned to the Chilean mainland.

-It was a beautiful drive from Puerto Varas along Lago Llaquihue to Casa Ko B&B. What a find! Check out the view from our room:

This is Volcan Osorno at sunset. While I have enhanced some pictures on the blog but this is untouched. Beauty au-naturale!

The french family running the B&B is lovely. Their two-year old daughter, Lila, was adorable especially when she called Zach Monsieur Ma-Na-Ma-Na! She apparently thought Zach was a muppet because of his orange, orangutan coat!!!
