Afrer proceeding up the Chilean coast, at times through 20 foot seas, we have passed through the Chilean fiords and a series of channels including the Darwin Channel to reach Puerto Montt. The highlight on the way was the Boujo Glacier where the face of the glacier reached the end of the fiord. It was spectacular but viewing conditions were far from optimal. We could not
get in to visit the Amalia Glacier due to poor weather.
From Puerto Montt we visited Lake Llanquihue the largest in Chile where we visited a series of towns established by early German settlers. behind the lake we could just make out the Osorno and Kalbuco volcanoes. The artefacts and buildings were very much like german towns we have visited including Lutheran churches and pastry shops selling kuchen.
Sorry still no photos. Next post Valparaiso in 2 days.

Shame you didn't go in October, there might have been lots of German beer then.
Not to mention beer wenches and men in leiderhosen.
Actually maybe it's a good thing you didn't (shudder).
