Back at the coast in our favorite little fishing village we realized that we would need much more time to get to see everything we want in the country. We had in mind a trip to the far south of Patagonia, dreamed of Robinson Crusoe and Chiloe islands, we thought of paddling the Lakes region down south and much more. But we also realized that we learned a lot about Chile by just staying home and spending time with the people around us. It was especially enjoyable because Chileans are super friendly, welcoming and very social. They always have a good red wine to share, a “parilla” (BBQ) going…and they even accept people like me who don’t eat meat!
After 6 months in Chile Carine was ready to get back to the warm waters of Maui. The girls loved their school so much and I was so enjoying those endless point breaks and tasty red wine that we could have stayed a bit longer but the call of “El nino” was already in the air…The greatest winter of all time was on its way!
