Day 15 - Hola Pucon
Prepared for anything with our two cheap flasks functioning just like two cheap flasks we checked out from our Chillan hostel and headed for the bus
. Now this is where Nik and I differ she seems to be able to remember the individual differences about everything we see on our different bus journeys including each buses seating configuration. For me they become blurred I don't mind buses / coaches whatever you want to call them it's just a means of getting from A2B. They are a necessary evil that has to be done to get anywhere. Today's bus journey was in two parts first to Temuco, change buses and then onto Pucon. No Problem. We did have to change buses 5 mins into the first journey I was for one was very happy since someone had poured coffee all over my seat not pleasant. Nik wasn't happy because we had good seats and a window that opened.
After these bus shenanigans it was south once again. I have been reliably informed that the scenery was just as awesome very reminiscent of south New Zealand the Andes making more appearances and generally looking green. After what seemed an eternity we arrived at Temuco gateway to the Lake District area with plenty of time to make our connection. After checking with the correct bus desk and receiving a Spanish pronunciation lesson for free
