🇨🇱 Day 83 - Immense views from the entrance to Parque Nacional Conguillio, looking across to the lava fields from Volcán Llaima.

🇨🇱 Day 83 - This morning we said goodbye to Pucón for a second time. We all agree it’s one of our favourite spots in Chile. It’s quite similar to Queenstown in NZ, or at least how it was ten years ago! We’re heading north again now. This time we’ve decided to brave the smaller (bumpier, unpaved) side roads. So far Alan has been a superhero 🚐🦸‍♀️ fingers crossed we make it to the next town without turning around!

🇨🇱 Day 82 - I’m still not quite sure how this happened but this morning we found ourselves in the midst of a 3km family fun run in Pucón. Driving rain and wind meant not that many people had shown up, so we were invited to join in and all plied with a technical t-shirt and cap.After the starting gantry blew away in the wind, we set off for a wet run around the town centre, escorted by the local police. Daddy did particularly well, carrying littlest around most of the route!

🇨🇱 Day 81 - “For the right to live in peace justice and dignity” A peaceful protest by the indigenous Mapuche in Pucón today.

🇨🇱 Day 81 - Nothing can stop this little man running for every slide he sees! He’s taken to saying hello or hola to everyone he meets, followed by several very enthusiastic ‘bye byes’ 😂 It paid off today though as he made friends with a little boy in the park and they chased each other around for over half an hour.

🇨🇱 Day 80 - Another hospital visit for littlest- it’s been a long day! 🏥 We all felt a bit tired this morning but decided to drive to Niebla to visit the old Spanish fortifications and museum. Sadly it was all closed, with a sign saying ‘no staff’, we think possibly part of the strikes here. Next we headed to Valdivia, to discover that much of the town centre has been vandalised during the riots. We quickly drove on, through a few burnt out road blocks and decided to head east, back to the National Parks. On arrival in Pucón, the kids were so excited to see the playground. Sadly littlest got a little overzealous and ended up falling onto the hard tiles, face first. We went to the little local hospital to check if he needed a stitch in his lip, but luckily he’s ok. (He is sporting a very plump pout though and sore nose 😞) The boys have gone for an early night, so the girls decided to enjoy a sushi dinner date- such a treat 👩‍👦
