After a lovely sleep-in and leisurely breakfast, we left
Maison Nomade and headed up to Caburga to see the Lake. Shockingly, the local government authority
are involved in some useless infrastructure project at the lake foreshore that
was completely blocking the usual view and access. Poor shops etc on front of the lake. I can’t imagine anyone doing anything
different than what we did – turn around and leave.
We headed to Playa Blanca, where you can get another view of
the Lake, walk along the edge etc, usually without much in the way of company
of other people. The solitude and views
are wonderful. On this occasion, it was
a circus. Perhaps because of the town
foreshore works, there was an abundance of cars, new parking arrangements (in a
paddock) that we had never seen previously, all for exorbitant sums (for Chile)
of 4,000 pesos to park your car in a paddock.
For that price, one would expect a fancy carpark, toilets and so on,
rather than the debacle we found. Again,
we left.
Back in Pucon, we wandered the streets for a while, trying
not to twist ankles when stepping off the footpaths. When we tired of window shopping, we found a
pizza and pasta place for lunch, which made a nice change. Afterwards, we wandered over the road to a
dessert café type place called Kuchenlandia, where I indulged in my favourite
Chilean dessert of Merengue with raspberries.
Gosh it was good.
Sugared up, we headed back to Temuco as uneventfully as it
is possible to be. I managed to hand
back the car to FIL (father-in-law) without any additional marks on it than
there were when we left!
