Today was a partial leisure day. I was at the dealer early for the appointment to get the oil and filter changed. I was treated to a lovely coffee by a pretty senorita while I waited…….Danilo the Service Manager went overboard in looking after my needs…….he didn’t even charge for the work…only the materials……how more hospitable can you be. For those of you coming through Puerto Montt and needing service, Austral Moto Sport at Urmeneta No 992. They sell KTM, Suzuki, Yamaha, Euromot, but service all makes…….saw some BMW’s at the shop. Great Crew…..thanks Danilo.

Danilo’s Boss next to him and son, mechanic and pretty senorita.
Looked like Antonio and I would part co tomorrow as each wanted to go south on a different route. Antonio has reconsidered and will go the original route which will involve 3 Ferry crossings but will be 1/2 the cost of the pan am hwy and Ferries. The draw back is dirt road after the 1st ferry crossing. I am confident that it will be great, scenic and enjoy able route.
In my walk about I took a few pics………..
Make great hostel/bars….any takers…………
across from the dealership, I walked down these stairs to the water front……..no elevator on the way back….needed an hour’s sleep to recuperate…then did it again.
A couple relics from a bi gone era…….
Tomorrow the beginning of the Carretera Austral……………..
Merry Christmas Bob & hopefully a Happy New year . We have just caught up on your blogs as pre Christmas is a bit of a blur here with everything on the go & a new 2yr old in the house . Great you are doing as well as you are -I was indeed excited to see that you even thought of a rock from the Pacific Coast -thank you so much -it will be a long lasting Christmas gift . The scenery , comments and service sound great - better than being home slogging snow . You and your companion indeed sound like you are married & as you know , there are ups & downs & hopefully you will be able to ride it out as it is nice to have company. Enjoy the adventure and we will continue to catch up on your informative blogs and get to appreciate that there are lovely people where ever you go.
