Seafood - eat food

Well, after spending a quiet day at the hostel yesterday (with a short walk in the morning and another in the evening) I was up and out early(ish) today. Along with someone staying at the hostel I caught a bus to the small island of Quinchao where we wandered around the town of Achao. After looking at the wood-shingle church (and hurrying out as a funeral started) we went to the seafront and chilled out. We also had lunch there - a beautiful seafood soup, chock full of salmon, hake, mussels and other bits and pieces, not greasy or salty and just perfect.

From there we took the bus back to the main island of Chiloe and stopped at Dalcahue to look at their church, again wood shingles but different in design and execution. Dalcahue is busier than Achao but that´s not saying much, mostly its pedestrian traffic and buses. However, we kept bumping into people who are staying in this hostel - great minds think alike, I guess.

I haven´t been able to upload my photos recently but I´ll try today or tomorrow so watch that flickr.
