Beach Time

The last few weeks it was silent from our site. We took it easy and went from Santiago area more North via Coquimbo / La Serena to where we are now, Bahia Inglesa. Here we stayed a couple of days on the beach site to relax. Tomorrow we continue and go first more North, and then proceed to Paso San Francisco and cross the Chilean-Argentinian border and drive more north to the Bolivian border where we cross back into Chile for San Pedro de Atacama

More volcanos

We visited volcano Llaima and Lonquimay. On the last one we did a nice trekking
of about 3 hours upto to the top of Cratar Navidad which was created during the eruption on December 25th 1988.

The start is on the lunar landscape surrounding the volcano and goes up via loose ash and stones to to the top, most of the times 3 steps forward and one backward. Too much for little Tycho as he is too small so he did 1 step forward and 1.5 backwards..
but Kim and Marco made it...Excellent weather and nice views
