I really hope there are enough people for hydrospeed today. I leave on a night bus for Santiago this evening so Its my last chance. This morning is beautiful and clear. You can see the volcanoe today. Yesterday it was smothered in cloud.
I go over to the centre and, thankfully, Hydrospeed is on at 2pm. I have a few hours to kilee so its back on to the computer to do the blog and a quick chat with Padraig who´s online again. Pad tells me the breaking news that Roy Keane has resigned from Sunderland. Its a bit of a shock. I thought he´d do well as a manager.
After a quick lunch it was onto the hydrospeed. I´m much more comfortable in the water than in the kayak and can´t wait to get on the river. Its a great buzz. THere´s 7 in the group this time including an Irish lad from Dublin. A Belgian lad and an Austrian both studied in Galway and were happy to talk about the west.
The hydrospeed flew by, too fast, again. No crashes this time. Afterwards I had a few hours to kill but by 9pm I was on the bus and leaving lovely Pucon behind. This evening Volcan Villarrica was really smoking. It looked really impressive with clouds of vapour streaming from the summit. Very soon after leaving Pucon it was dark. I tried to settle down as best I could to sleep. I´m on a cheap bus, the cheapest out of Pucon. Its not as comfortable as the other buses I´ve been on so it will be interesting to see if I can sleep tonight. The film "The Rock" with Sean Connery and ??? is on in Spanish. It makes my eyelids feel very heavy.
