Quicky #2

Changed my plans... rather than spending the days until 2nd of Jan in and around Hornopiren, I decided to head back towards Puerto Montt, but take a right turn after about 30 miles towards Puelo.

The road goes along this endless Fjord, so the scenery is supposed to be great. Went to check it out, but got hit by Chiles finest downpour... Finally, riding for 2 hours in heavy rain made me look for the next best shelter. Turned out to be this amazing fishing lodge (www.andesloge.com). Funny thing is that I´m the only guest. Might be my chance to finally pull a fish out of the water...

Had a little mechanical incident with the frame mounts of the bike rack, which made the rack drop behind the bike (OK, so the incident was fatal). Shock. And all this happened in the rain. But nothing that couldn´t be fixed with some extra straps. Rather than riding around the whole Fjord now for the next 2 days I´ll turn around tomorrow and head on the most direct route to Puerto Montt (should be around 50 miles). Maybe I can find a hardware store with the necessary tools to fix the rack for the next 500 miles...
