Chile Day 22 Dec 31 13

 

Stuck in Chaiten, near torrential rains, little money, local bank which is a lone ATM in an otherwise empty building refuses to accept my debit cards or Visas. Appears this section of Chile, the small town ATM’s only accept Master Card. So with 25000 pesos for fuel, food and lodging over the next 400 k to a larger town, I must eat little and sleep in the jungle.Chaiten Chile Dec 31 13 011  Chaiten Chile Dec 31 13 010

The rain let up for an hour this evening so I took a few pics……as you will see the town has had better times….Chaiten Chile Dec 31 13 005 Chaiten Chile Dec 31 13 006 Chaiten Chile Dec 31 13 007  Chaiten Chile Dec 31 13 008 Chaiten Chile Dec 31 13 010
