Blog post for Sunday, 5 November, 2023
Tomorrow we fly from Puerto Montt to Santiago so today we drove back south towards Puerto Montt to Frutillar which is less than an hours drive from Puerto Montt airport.
At breakfast this morning a Chimango Caracara bird sat right outside our table and eyed our food and us. I can only identify it because we took pictures. And I used the Merlin bird ID app.
After breakfast we drove down the road a bit and did the waterfall hike that we missed yesterday. It was raining but the hike takes you through the spray from the waterfall so we hardly noticed. A friendly, polite, exuberant dog led us the whole way.
We stopped a couple of times along our way south to stretch our legs. At one stop some Sunday kayakers we’re just packing up.
In Frutillar our B&B overlooks the lake. If it weren’t so gray and overcast I think we would have a great view of the volcano at the end of the lake.
Frutillar has a strong German influence. We had to check out the Kuchen shop just down the street
For dinner we had a wonderful meal at Colonos del Lago, a short walk from our B&B.
I have to say that I have never before had lamb like the lamb we have had in Chile and Argentina. It has been fabulous!
While we we’re waiting for our food Bonnie and I had to test out the piano across the street.
