Report of 22nd September
Report by Angela
In the morning Marjolein is always the first one up to make a fire in the wood stove. She actually does that all days we spend in Puerto Montt.
Marjolein, our fire maker
Everything is dedicated to finding the backpack of Arnaud. We are all ready for a new adventure and drive at 10:00 to the airport and to our surprise they know by Sky Airlines everything of the bag. Phone calls and e-mails bring no solution, just go to the airport.
on our way to the airport, searching for the backpack
If what they say is true the bag will arrive at 13.45 hours. To be sure the bag is not returned again or forwarded to the next airport, we waited these 2.5 hours.
After a few cups of coffee we go down and post ourselves for the counter. 45 minutes, then he is there, said the steward. And it’s true. Finally the backpack arrived correctly. But if we had not been there, he certainly was sent back to Santiago. As shown by the track and trace when we came home later and even went to see where he’d be.
There were important things for Watson, a spare alternator and specially annealed locking wire. Thank God everything is still there.
at last Arnauds backpack is found
We are very happy and can start packing our bags and heading to Chiloe Island, our first stop. We drink a couple, cooking healthy meals and went to bed early. Or is that still because of the jett lag?
