A little rain in the
night and down to 3.8°C. Managed to heat water for a cup of tea
in multi stages. We’ll do some miles today and fill up to dilute
the “bad” fuel.
The 68km drive to
our other campsite was fantastic. Beautiful sunny day and clear. Got a
look at the mountains that we had only imagined were there last time
in this area.
We believe we saw some frost still sitting in the
shade. The land we drove through today looks to be the best farming we
have seen so far. Very organised and well maintained farms. A lot of
them dairy farms. The farming style reminded us both of being in NZ.
Drove into Puerto
Montt (again) to get mail. I dropped John off and did a long lap then
double parked outside the Post Office to wait. The street was very
quiet so I was not moved on. No mail another 5 days! It is still in
Santiago. John asked that the parcel stay in Santiago so we will try
again there.
Drove north on the
highway to Largo Ranco filled with fuel and found a camp spot on the
lake. We are just 60km
north west of yesterdays border crossing.
