Taking a random bus from Puerto Montt we arrived in Valdivia to check out the coast. First surprise comes in the form of a colony of Sealions which call this town´s river front home. The huge males took a dislike to having their photo taken & so decided to roar & spit at us, a disgusting fishy, pooey smelling spray all over our faces - nice!Whilst having lunch we met a very friendly local lady, Jimena, who was celebrating her birthday. In the event of us not speaking any Spanish & her no English we then established a common way to communicate... in French! The Chileans are the friendliest people & before we knew it we were invited to join her & her family that evening for a party....
Pisco Sours all round, lots of vino tintos, traditional songs played on instruments, traditional dances (http://tinyurl.com/yvx88e), kareoke, plus a disco in the lounge complete with glitter ball - yes we met our Chilean equivalents in Valdivia! It was such a laugh...
The following day, the Moza family picked us up from our hostel & gave us a guided tour of the local area, the beautiful coastline. This was followed by a gourmet lunch (thank-you Patricio) & then beers in the Kunnstmann brewery.Some more pics of our day...
