Кой-I-aquí? (Coyhayque)

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Boring, expensive, but quite tranquil Coyhayque is the biggest city on the Carretera Austral we’ve hit so far. Given, of course, we started only a few days ago, but according to the map, it will also remain such until we reach Puerto Montt. Or may be I should say if we do, as our plans change on the fly all the time.

If not for Maira and Javier, the Chilean doctors who gave us a ride here, the stopover would be like any other. Check e-mail, update our location, make sure we are not missing anything important, and find the cheapest way out. This time though, we didn’t get off that easy. The guys invited us to a little barbeque at their house, and we hang out with them and their friends (who don’t speak a word of English) till the fire was no longer able to keep us outside.
