At La Ligua I bought mum some carnations. It has been a
year since her passing.
Drove around the
town of Las Parcelas trying to get to the beach. Not possible but we
did see lots of hot houses growing flowers. Photographed a very happy

Up along the coast
to Pichicuy to see if we could purchase fresh fish for lunch. No only
frozen.
We are back on Ruta
5 and not enjoying it. Arrived at Los Molles where Marie from Los
Andes has a friend who takes tourist diving with seals but the sea
has been too rough.
Nice to see a bit of
swell coming in, the biggest we have seen in Chile and it’s not
that big. Did not find this
town friendly in fact got ushered back to the main beach which is
fenced off. The town borders a national park which was all locked
with a high fence.
Moved on again this
time to Pichidangui which looked like it had a track along the sea
cliffs. But no it was fenced off. We had seen another track we thought
would take us to the same spot but half way there a ute stopped
to talk to us. Not much English but she conveyed that her husband
spoke English and we should follow her home which we did.
Carlos was a Canadian and had lived here for 5 years. We got some valuable local
knowledge from them, then headed out to the sea cliffs to camp. Great
spot except for the rubbish!! Ocean lively and a great sunset. One of our best camp so far
