The island of chiloe

Hello,

We are now just back from the Island of Chiloe to Puerto Montt waiting for our bus to Pucon. On the island, we stayed in the town of Ancud which is situated at the north of the island.

After visiting the streets of the own, we headed for the regional museum which explains the history of the Island... the most amazing thing in the museum is the skeleton of a whale... it is pretty impressive to see how big a blue whale can be!

We also saw some statues of old divinities of the island that were pretty weird!! and While we were looking at all that, three vultures were looking at us... spoookky!!
We then headed for the fort of the town which consists in a few canons and towers left.. nothing really exciting! But ola got caught in one of the towers and I had to save him....!!

The next day, we wen to the next town on the island called Castro. Despite what ou host in the B&B said, the town was lovely and we had an amazing day as the sun was shining and we were warm (first time in quite a while!).

We wandered around town and went to see the handicrafts market. Then we had a lovely and boiling hot dish of mussels and salmon, in front of the sea...
One of the main characteristic of Castro is that a lot of the houses are build on stilts
