 Drove
into this town after breakfast. Parked on the road for free and walked
about the water front promenade. This is a large resort town on the
bay. Navimeg cruises start from here to go to points south including
the glaciers at Puerto Natales. We went to a big downtown mall and
ate in their food court in a cafeteria style place with waiters for the
table. The food was excellent and very reasonable. .
We went to the Juan Pablo II museum ( not rated
highly in the guide book’) and found it quiet- the exhibits were
in one floor. Mostly about recent history of immigration, visit of
the Pope to Chile and artifacts from their maritime life.

We
drove back to Fruitillar on the lake Llanquihue before coming back to the
hotel. Fruitillar had a very nice view of the symmetrical volcan
Osorno. The top of the mountain was somewhat visible on this day.
They had a German Museum and many other venues with german motif.
Apparently they have lake front classical music concerts in season.
We had coffee and kuchen in a very nicely appointed restaurants.
We came back after dusk to the El Mercado restaurant for one more taste
of Erizo. There was a very large Japanese family (grand parents,
parents and kids) at dinner in the same place. Once again, the dinner
was very memorable.
