Once again we had to bloody walk, I know I'm moaning all the time, hitch hiking does have its benefits, for a start its free, not knowing when and where and what your lift will be is always fun, its just the walking is a bit of a pain, especially in Chile where its stupendously hot and really sunny, with not much shade. We walked to the centre of town, sat in the Plaza Prat and considered our options, it was a Sunday, the tourist information was closed, the Conaf office was closed, everything was closed, there is nothing going on at all, apart from some shops, bars and restaurants being open there is nothing. I had a look in my guide for accommodation, found somewhere that sounded cheap so we went off to find it. When we got there it was what expected but the price wasn't my guide said it was about $13 US for a double room, it was more like $20 US, I didn't care paying it though, I need a bed and a shower and to relax a bit before we venture off into the arid desert to Laguna Verde. The guest house seems relatively good, comfortable bed, adequate sized room, a TV with shit channels and showers, I can finally be clean, I can the layers of dirt building up on my arms and legs and can detect a slight pong coming from under my arms. I will definitely make the most of a warm shower and be in there till I feel like a new man.
