Day 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this short trip I decided I was not going to write a blog. This is it. The map shows my intended route as I set out: from SM north to Villa Pehuenia, West to Temuco, south to Quell\u00f3n (on the island Chiloe) and back to SM through Puerto Montt and Villa Angostura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left San Mart\u00edn de los Andes about 07.30, driving first to Lake Tromen in search of Pehu\u00e9n pine cones. Easily found but needn’t have bothered as later in the day I saw lots on my route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drive from June to Pio Lil good, fast tarmac if a little twisty. From Pio Lil to the turn for Quillen the road was worse than ever, but still a beautiful drive. Thenceforth twenty km of broken tarmac and lunch in Alumin\u00e9 – a tasty lamb stew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly my favourite pasta restaurant (Posta del Rey) had closed down – seems the owner died, but the food under the new owners was good, if not meeting my dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch drove out to Ruca Choroi – another familiar road, where I found more and better pi\u00f1ones. Then to my hotel for the night, impressive to look at and above my usual standard but only \u00a325 or so for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Skipped evening meal (huge lunch) but found bowls of (pehu\u00e9n) pine kernels which I ‘stole’ with permission, so my collection is now complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow I’ll be doing the short drive to Villa Pehuenia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
