And they did it!! So proud of the three of them! Withstanding the cold and the amazing waves and current. What a contrast with Sri Lanka where they can run into the sea and hit almost any wave coming their way. Here it is paddling hard and show perseverance . Both felt frustrated and afterContinue reading “Hitting the waves!”

Punta de Lobos!
This afternoon, we all went with Emilio to Punta de Lobos. He usually surfs here and he wanted to show us how the break works, how the waves are coming in and hang out with Val at the beach while the boys could see him in the water battling the wind and cold. Goshh!! ItContinue reading “Punta de Lobos!”

Here in Chile there are berries everywhere and alongside the road you find many fruit stalls selling jams, compote and fresh juices. We found a little wooden cottageContinue reading “In the country side!”

Boys didn’t complain at all that we were to embark on another busContinue reading “Back on the road!”
