Chiloe

The island of Chiloe was good fun. Real nice people, great seafood, lots of coast and plenty of rain but also sun....hence we saw loads of rainbows whilst there! There are also a load of legends and mythical creatures which were fun to learn about. Trauco is a bit of a Geezer. Good summary about him on wikipedia here.


We wanted a better view of the houses on stilts (Palafitos) and so I chatted to some guys who were unloading their boat and managed to borrow it (well, he wanted a couple of quid) for a bit. So I rowed us up the channel and got up close to the houses which was cool.

By the way, to everyone in England enjoying the beginning of summer, it's damn cold over here!
