We were on the left side of the plane heading south and had fabulous views of the snow-capped Andes and the lakes and a couple of smoking volcanoes. Arrived to a sunny but slightly cooler temperature (around 19C) to pick up our pre-booked rental car.
Being high season, there were very few cars on offer from any of the hire companies and our Toyota saloon somehow morphed into a Nissan X-trail (which shows 55,000km but looks like it may had done 155,000)which was the only vehicle left.
180km on the Pan-American and a 20minute ferry journey and we arrived in Castro which is the capital of the 'Grand Isle' of Chiloe.
What is it about islands that their inhabitants always seem slightly odd? Whether it's Newfoundland, Lewis or Tasmania, there always seems to be that certain something that marks them out as different.
