I don't feel good since yesterday and have stomach pain. A forced break which is in that sense not too bad because I can work on my homepage and other stuff. Today the whole day we were busy in our small room in our pension. Actually I wanted to write to the family and friends but I said this morning, work first and then after the fun part writing e-mails but now it is already after 8 pm and I didn't eat anything. The pain eased a bit and I will try some food again.
Update:
Again 12 days passed like "nothing". Time is passing by so quickly. From Maicolpue we took the way to the Lago Rinihue which I thought wouldn't be that touristy (true) like the Villarricca area. My map showed a small grey line which connects the small villages of Rinihue and Ranco on the south shore. My GPS found the connection as well. After Rinihue the road turned into gravel quickly. We overtook a big pickup and continued another 10km on a hardcore dirt road. For some rocky steps Ying got off the bike. Wow. All of a sudden the road ended. Only a small path continued straight on and on the right hand side there was a gate. No car passed this gate for months. I needed a pause and Ying tried all ways on foot. Approx. 600m behind the gate Ying found a rotten hut and another two paths which both opened out on a clearance. Thousands of bees humming and all of a sudden a man was there. In order to not being unfriendly Ying didn't run away and communicated with this strange old guy, a beekeeper. One of the paths approx. 40 cm wide leading further + a creek to be crossed but if this would have been possible with our motorbike and luggage...Ying returned and I was already a bit anxious (at that time I was already 2 times at the 2nd bend of this small way looking for Ying but I couldn't see and hear anything + I didn't want to leave all our stuff alone..). Not a good idea and next time we have to organize something like this in a different way!
End of our way and a Ying, happy to be back. And me as well!
