Report 24 September
By Angela
We got up early, had breakfast, and we made the rituals associated with the retirement of the SOS Children’s (given nuggets from Edam given). We go on the move to Quellón te catch the early morning boat to Chaitén.
Along the many meadows, cows and houses, we had a coffee break and were invited by a lovely woman to drink coffee in a small house.
It is impossible to imagine how they live here in the cold. In corrugated roofs and very thin walls and one wood stove. It is really poor. But hospitality was from this woman was high class.
Through Castro, where we shoot some beautiful pictures of colorful houses on stilts, we arrive in Quellón.
Everyone wants a picture with Watson again. We are looking for a hotel on the harbor but we thought that the woman said there was no room and we found it not that cozy there. Watson also had to be parked outside on a busy road.
We looked from which point the ferry sails away because there would also be a hotel, but there was none. Eventually we find the ferry where carabineros were waiting for us and gives us escort to a luxury hotel. Unfortunately, it was fully booked.
The police brought us to another hotel and we went to bed early because at 3:00 am, the alarm clock goes off for taking the ferry to Chaitén.
