Last bike day...


We enjoyed another great day today on the bikes.  You guessed it, more volcanos!  There is a reason why they call this the volcano region.  

The ride today started on the Pucon Ironman 70.3 course.  We started a little out side of town to avoid the traffic and the contined past the turnaround fot the bike leg.  

The route was beautiful!  

Lunch was at the end of a big climb next to a creek.


The water was crystal clear and we could see the fish swimming in it.

 
Enjoying a little chill time before lunch.  I waded in to the water knee deep, it was cold but felt good.



I want to take a minute to say how excellent our experience was with Echo Tours so far.  Earnesto, our guide and Orlando, our driver were fantastic!  Earnesto is a world class cyclist and was ranked 3rd in the world in 2010 (i cant remember the distance) but holy crap can that guy ride!   Jeff and I would be slowly weezing our way up hills and he would blow past us like we were not moving.  Complete oppisite of SE Asia where half the guides couldnt keep up.  They were great and will be missed.

Tomorrow is a monster travel day.  6 hours on a bus, taxi to airport, 2 hour flight, taxi to bus station, 2 hours by bus...  We wont be rolling in to the hotel until after 10 at night.  Will probably not get to blog.
I'm sure to have some stories once i get the chance.

Iceland day 2!

Day 2 started with a beautiful sunrise. The b&b we were staying at had horses that we could pet.  Many people have these stocky, shaggy horses.  They are mostly uses for "hobby and tourists" but the also have various horseman competitions and the are sometimes used for farm work to get around or help heard sheep or cattle.  The agriculture is pretty much grass to feed the sheep and cows in the winter.  It seems like they bring the sheep and cows into barns durring the worst of the weather in winter.  In summer the sheep are left to roam free all over Iceland and "everything it covered in sheep".  The sheep outnumber the people by quite a bit.  At the end of summer everyone helps gather up all the sheep and then they are sorted and returned to their owners based on their ear tags.   After saying hello to the horses we set off to see waterfalls. Waterfalls in Iceland end in "foss".  This is Urridafoss. Here is a closeup of the gigantic hole...

Ahhhh... Time for a little relaxation!

Yesterday we had a pleasant morning in Porto Notalles.  It started pooring rain which made me so glad that we had such good weather for out trip.   We got some fancy hot chocolates, second time to this shop.  We went once befoe the hike, it was so good, we went back. We took a bus to Puntas Arenas and flew to Santiago.  By the time we got the rental car, made a few u-turns and found the hotel it was pretty late.  We had dinner around standard Chilean time for once which was about midnight. After sleeping in, we did a little exploring in Santiago, picked up a couple souvenirs for friends and family and drove to Santa Cruz (yep, there is one in Chile and a San Francisco too!).  We are in the Colchagua valley which makes great red wine.  We had an amazing dinner (and wine) and are ready to call it a night...

Vino!

I did it!  I actually relaxed all day today!!!  Aren't you proud? The day started with sleeping in followed by loafing and reading my book.   We were picked up by a driver for a vineyard tour at 11:30 and lucked out.  The other 8 english speakers didnt show up for the tour so Jeff and i got a private tour.  The best part was that part of the tour was done from horse drawn buggies. The tour and tasting was great.  We had lunch at the resturant at the winery and then went to a second winery for another tasting. We then had our pleasantly wined selves driven back to our B and B and relaxed for a couple hours.  I read, Jeff pretended to read and took a nap. We ended the evening by going in to town.  They are having a 4 day music festival where they close down the street, have a few craft venders in the main square and a ton of food venders and set up a stage and have free music.  We had street food for dinner and icecream and enjoyed the band. ...
