Pucon 08/04/08

Woke up this morning and thought it'd be a nice day to go for a walk and also to see a little bit more of the surrounding area.. It's quite nice.. Nature, forests, lakes and stuff. It does happen to be the lakes district of Chile.

I went off to a place called Lago Carburga which is about 30 minutes by bus away it was quite interesting.. There wasn't anyone around though as it was the off season. Never the less the people were really quite nice and there was quite a bit of scenery. I walked along the edge of the lake and had a look around before catching the bus back to the town.


I decided to do some shopping for food and other things. The only way I have been able to get vegetables as part of my daily diet is to buy ready made salads as I'm unable to consume an entire lettuce or cabbage in one go.. But the wonderful thing is theres this little old lady in town that sells ready made salads, she's a wonderful old lady. I once didn't have enough money on me to pay for the bag, so I told her I would bring back some money in 15 minutes. She said it was fine and seriously didn't expect me to come back with the money. She was so surprised when I came back a few minutes later with the rest of her change. For the entire time I was in Pucón I bought 1 bag of vegetables a day for around CHP600.

I met a couple at the hostel today, we decided to go get something to eat from the local restaurant like a take-out place and this is what we ended up with it's wonderful.. It was a chicken burger.. "Hamburguesa de pollo" Umm.. Yum...
