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

Volcano Puyehue

Earlier this week we drove from Osorno to Bariloche, via Paso Cardenal A Samore.
In June 2011 the volcano, erupted and damaged a great part of the forest. Looks like driving in another world. Tonnes of ash are still alongside the road and they just finished building a new road

Volcano's everywhere...

We survived the Carretera Austral which was a rattling but gorgeous trip. Now overviewing the Bay of Puerto Montt with Volcano Osorno and Calbuco in the far distance. We take a few days rest here before we pick up Marco's Mom and continue to the Lakes district and to Bariloche in Argentina, where we intend to stay for Christmas (with 20-25 degrees and no snow, cold and darkness, it feels different)

Home made bread

My first attempt of making home made bread away from home was a succes!  I used my dutch oven for the first time on a bricket fire and it turned out ok. Still up for some improvement but even the kids liked it! They want me to make it every day now....
