The Oregon Girl

I woke up and had the included breakfast, for the first time in Bariloche not having a specific time to get up. It didn't take long before Dave left as his bus was at 12 o'clock, it was a good goodbye, we had traveled together for only a week, but Dave is a thoroughly good guy, and I wish him all the best on the remainder of his travel. Before leaving myself (on a 14 0´clock bus) I said my farewells to Eyal and Rachel.

The bus started at Bariloche, and so loaded on a lot of people, delaying the departure by about 30 minutes, but that didn't matter much, my destination was Valdivia, and it was only a place where I intended to find a bed, sleep and get the earliest bus to Pucon the next day. But the busride had a good factor, I sat next to a girl called Lindsay from Oregon, but who lived half the year in Alaska (not exactly sure if it was a half year) guiding groups around the wilderness, it sounded very exciting. But of all my bus trips, it was by far the best unexpected company I have had. She was only going to Osorno (a couple of stops before Valdivia), so I slept for the last part.

When I arrived in Valdivia I found a cheap hostel (6000 peso is cheap in Valdivia unfortunately), ate a sandwich and went early to bed as I had bought a 6.50 ticket to Pucon for the next day.
