There is a German influence here

 

 

These are not the volcanoes we will visit

 

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

We are now in Puerto Varras on Lake Llanquihue, a resort town famed for its roses. It's still asleep.

We drive around the lake

Thanks so much for continuing to post your GF adventures. I m now feeling much better about dining on my upcoming Crown cruises. Although I do think I might just bring some of my GF raisin bread just for a change now and then. Enjoying your blog so much about a cruise I don't see in my future.

Our destination, the Orsono volcano

 

 

This is the volcano that erupted last year, Calbuco.

 

 

 

We are at Petrohue, another waterfall

And now we climb

I pass others from the land tour on their way down!

 

 

And then we ground to a halt. Seriously. Stopped.

 

 

Not for long though

 

 

 

Dismounted at the top

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

The chair lift to travel further up is closed.

 

 

 

 

Basically you're on your own past this point

Heading back down

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

 

 

 

 

The long and winding road

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

 

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

There are cyclists riding up.....

 

 

 

Back to the lake

 

 

 

Puerto Montt is now awake and there is very heavy traffic.

 

 

Barely a line for the tender...... maybe we'll get away on time today.....

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

What WAS I thinking..... steady stream of tenders continue running to and from the pier way past sailaway

 

 

 

 

 

430pm and they're still running

That might be a really good idea! just so long as you don't want it toasted in the buffet..... currently only one GF toaster and that's in the MDR galley!!! They'll take it down for toasting for you though.
