Today, after a long trip through the Magellan Channel, we arrived in Punta Arenas at 6:00 a.m. We hadn't booked anything here because we weren't that interested in the offers,...

Today the day started with an early rise. We should see the first glacier. The “Brujo Glacier” was announced for 7:30 a.m. Additionally, the front open deck should open at 7:15...

This was our next day at sea. We should now slowly immerse ourselves in the Chilean fjords. After a once again extensive breakfast and a visit to the fitness area, there was a...

After a wonderfully relaxing night in a very well-sprung bed, we went to the ninth floor for breakfast. We had a full day at sea ahead of us, as Puerto Montt was to be our first...

So, now to our "home" for the next two weeks. The "Oosterdam" is one of eleven ships of the "Holland America Line"! They celebrated their 125th anniversary this year and started...

Today we arrived in Puerto Chacabuco at 11:00 am. There was probably a delay of about an hour when leaving Puerto Montt because the ship's doctor was on a longer assignment, but...

Now we had more of a routine with breakfast, but first we completed our next visit to the gym. Karin had her set times and I often went with her. While yoga, Pilates and other...

On Tuesday Franziska called a huber to take us to the bus station. An extra large one, because with our five pieces of luggage and three people we needed a lot of space. We...

Now we started packing! The last load of the washing machine dried quickly and we used the time to get our suitcases ready for travel again. With four travel items and a...

Today was our return day to Santiago. But since the plane wasn't scheduled to leave until late afternoon (5:30 p.m. with SKY), we still had time for a little excursion. We took...

Today we had to get up earlier because we wanted to go on a trip to the surrounding area. Panguipulli, on Lake Panguipulli, was our destination. This should be a typical Chilean...

Today we wanted to take more time for the place and Franziska had to work. So we both set off towards town and got on a micro No 20 at the first big intersection! These micros...

Today our 4-day trip to the central south of Chile (Region de Los Rios) began. Since the tour by bus would have taken too long, we decided to take the plane. This also means...

Today was Valentine's Day. We had spent it a year earlier at the Adlon in Berlin. Our prize for the Lions Club Christmas calendar. It made us realize how quickly time flies and...

We wanted to cancel today's activity planning. On the one hand, Karin's health was not that good and it was also very hot. The trip to Sewell at an altitude of 2000 m, the...

Today we would have liked to recover from the trip to Rancagua/Sewell, but since the cleaning lady was coming, we had to get up relatively early. So we took turns, more or less...

After a very extensive breakfast in the hotel (included in the price) with a good selection, including fruit and cakes, we checked out and drove, of course again with a Huber,...

We all overslept the beginning of this day because the days are over, at least for us, when long nights and alcohol don't matter. Initially we tried to bring a little order into...

Today there were no activities outside the house, because Franziska invited to a party in the late afternoon. She had her birthday in January and has been here in Chile for two...

Today we broke up! No not like this! Karin wanted to stay at home and enjoy the amenities of the apartment building, such as the swimming pool and fitness room. I, on the other...
