Merry Christmas Everyone!!




We spend breakfast with a young couple from the Netherlands and two sisters from Austria. We share stories of things we don’t see at home before we go our own way for the rest of the day. 
A Swedish man stopped into the Hostal when he seen our bikes parked out front, he is also travelling by motorcycle and the visit turns into an hour long conversation about bikes, routes, breakdowns and other experiences. Markus is a well travelled fella who spent 7 years in Africa on a motorcycle, 20yrs ago, when Africa was much less civilized than it is today. And that is saying something. 

After that it was time to take a tour of the area including a visit to Malalcahuello National Park. Which is home to the newest volcano in Chile which was formed in 1988 on Christmas Day.

This is what we did on Christmas day.
The crater in front is called Navidad Crater.

And this

And a little of this.

4km long tunnel built in 1930's.

Then ate left over chicken and pasta prima vera before calling it an evening.
