The Vagrant Gypsy Life

Day 67, Fri Nov 5 Bariloche/ Puerto Montt

Woke up really early to take the 07:30 bus from Bariloche to Puerto Montt. Another border crssing. Having got used to the ARgentine officials, who stamped my passport without fuss, I hadnt taken the fruits and nuts out of my bag. The CHilean officials were thorough and I was quite miffed to have to give up my lmonds, walnuts and some dried fruits. I had to be content with eating chocolates on the trip.

The view was great the entire trip. The lake district on both sides of the border provide different sights. The CHilean side gets more rain and is extraordinarily green. It might well be Ireland or New Zealand, complete with sheep and lots of rain.

It was pouring when I got to Puerto Montt. Checked in and met up with my friend who had taken the ferry from Puerto Natales to P Montt. We had a pleasant dinner, swapping travel stories since the last time we met 7 or 8 weeks ago. Also made our plans to travel together for a week or so before I head off to Torres del Paine.
