In my coffee table book of Patagonia I had a picture of the volcano Villarica. It's almost perfect shape attracted me so much, I knew before I even have left it would be one of my highlights on my whole trip.
I tried to couchsurf in Villarica but somehow my host forgot me. I kept trying to contact him and first thing in Villarica was therfore to look for an Internet Café. I Was shocked and surprised noting the price they charge in the header bar.
Officially the Peso symbol is the same as the dollar: "$". This Internet Café however used the "€". Puff, a hundred Euro for 10 Minutes of Internet usage... well, it had been actually 13 Euro Cents...
The Gringo (US American) gave me the address earlier in a mail. So despite I could no contact him I made my way up to his place. He was not home. As I informed me later, he went fishing for some days and forgetting about me. Well anyway, he lives at a nice spot!
At some stage I got really bored of waiting :) It really was a very nice timing as the climate exactly was as it is in Germany in late summer. My favourite time of the year.
