Next stop on the Jen and Katie (and Forrest for now) tour was Pucon, Chile... yup we crossed back into Chile - I´m running out of space in my passport for all these stamps!
Before Pucon we had a small layover in Osorno where we had to camp out on the lawn (more like area where the drunks go to pee) by the bus station while we waited for our next bus. We left Forrest to guard our bags with his swiss army knife while we went on a search for coffees. Our memories of Osorno will always be stale donuts, gay dogs, pregnant ladies with toddlers in tow and an extremely unpleasant park by the bus station (at least it didn´t rain).
Pucon is a small adventure town with the wonderful happenstance of being surrounded by volcanoes... at least two of them are active... plus every other hill seemed be described as dormant volcanoe- not to worry- nothing erupted while we were there (it would have been in the news-duh!)
We stayed in a nice hostel- out of the way but nice since no one else seemed to know it existed... features included a yappy dog, ample space for Forrest to practice yoga, a slightly bitchy lady who was perpetually sweeping the floors and indisceranable address down a dirt road.
We spent our 24 hours in Pucon on a quick tour of beautiful rivers with pool drop waterfalls and a visit to the famous Pucon Termas (hot springs). Jen would like to add ¨those were hot- those hot springs- make sure you mention that...¨

Another excellent pic! The obstacles you were successfuly overcoming at this hot place are indeed funny. Not fresh bagels and dirt roads really make the trip a challenge for you! I think Jen had a good training in the Russian province, at Gena's dacha with crowds of ticks around, crossing a river on the rubber boat etc.
I wish, Katie, you were with us there to let the girls stay at the dacha-)))
