A much longer day in miles today.

We went looking for a laundromat. The first one we found in Frutillar on the Llanquihue lake was one where the lady did the washing for you and delivered it back the next day. So was not suitable.

This small town was settled by Austrians and still has that flavor about it. It now has a big theater built out over the water which seems to have some sort of performance at least weekly.

The next small town Puerto Varos on the same lake had a laudromat with machines. the going cost per kilo was 2100 peso to have it done or 1900 to do yourself. We figured for A$35 we could handle a bit of wet washing inside. The only reason we had thought of using a laudromat was the forcast. Rain on and off over the next week.
Drove for quite a while further around the lake to finally find a camp on the beach.

The lake being fresh, we did some washing and put more into soak. The “washing machine” is a large plastic container with a lid that seals and after a day agitating around in EC as we bump along the roads, the clothes are washed.

It rained overnight.
