Day 26 - 27 (Pucon)

Day 26
We waited around all morning to get the bus at 3:00. Great more wasted time. I hope Pucon is worth it. I´m starting to think the whole idea of going to see the volcano was a bad one and we should have just headed up to northern Chili.

We finally got on the bus and headed to Pucon. We knew that the bus would arrive into the next town 2 hours late. That seems to be how it works down here. They say you´ll be in the next town at 6:00 you can bet you´ll be there around 8:00. It is so amazing that these guys will tell you that they should be on time when in reality they never are. Punks.

Anyway the ride was actually really beautiful. The bus ride sucked but the view was really nice. We say a large volcano in the distance and it was beautiful to see. The driver and the guy helping him were about as smart as a rock. Nothing was organized and always a mess. The bus just stops and they tell you nothing. Then expect you to know what to do. You have to ask where you are if you should get off and what we should do. While crossing onto Chili they even took all our bags off the bus without asking us and threw them on the floor in the room to be scanned. Even our personal bags that were on the bus. We had allot of money in them and then we look and there´s our bags with crowds of people passing and standing around them. People had expensive and fragile cameras in their bags as well. Luckily nothing was taken. Little punks. They could have told us to take them off the bus but there too dumb to figure things out like that.

We made it to the town and they dropped us off the bus in the middle of a residential area. Luckily Ana speaks spanish. Would be a pain in the ass trying to figure everything out. They just stop the bus throw our shit out and say good luck here you are in Pucon. Can you tell I´m getting a little tired of dealing with unorganized dumb people. Can tell I´m a month into the trip.

We did find our way and our hosteria which was someone´s house that rents out the extra rooms. Let me tell you it was like walking into a funny farm. The place was pretty shabby and the lived with an older lady that was sick. I think she had Parkensins. Either way she continued to act crazy around the house. Talking to herself and seeing things that were´nt there. Luckily she spoke spanish so I ddin´t understand what she was saying. Made it easier for me to ignore here. The places we end up? Part of the adventure. The good things was the place was quiet and I enjoyed the fact that we had our own room. Come to find out we were the only people staying there. That might say something about the place.

I sleep good that night.

Day 27
Woke up and spent the day doing details. We paid for the volcano hike and tried on some heavy duty shoes. Ana´s shoes looked like they could fit me. They were HUGE. I don´t think you could push her over in those shoe if your tried. Looked funny those thin chicken legs with HUGE man boots.

We ran to the store and ate lunch. The heat is really strong and is making me and Ana fight a little bit. I think it´s because we haven´t seen much in the last week or so getting to Pucon and were finally here and the city is hot and full of tourist. The crowds and being a foreign place are starting to wear me down and Ana is just tired of the heat. We spend most of the evening arguing and fussing at each other. The volcano better be good. I´ll be pissed if it isn´t.

Another funny thing was that that sick lady at the place we are staying thinks I´m her boy friend. I guess she like the tall big strapper? Was pretty funny cause she stares at me when I come in the room and smiles. The lady taking care of her said let´s go to watch tv and she said she didn´t want to she would rather stay and watch me. Was pretty funny.

I slept pretty good at the funny farm but Ana doesn´t like it. We made reservations to get out of there after the volcano hike. One
