South to Peurto Monte

Delicious view from the plane as we descend into Peurto Monte. It's 90 minutes south of Santiago. Staying on Osorno which isn't a tourist town but services the area. Settled by Germans many years ago so the influence is definitely obvious. Lake Lanquihue was our lunch spot and this amazing opera house seemingly in the middle of nowhere!!
Lake shore sculpture - Martin was a terrific entertainer!!
Dairy farm in the afternoon. We loved seeing the cows on grass. BErnadette was a farm advisor out or Masteton several years ago. Now back in Chile has helped organise the farms for us to see down here.
There are large areas of bulbs - these are lily bulbs but there are also tulips - similar environment to Southland or the West coast.

  1. Will Martin be taking up a professional career or just entertaining visitors to your vineyard? ; )

  2. He did sing " plinkety plonkety" as the tickled the non responsive ivories but he thinks perhaps not. :-)
