Preview of Gillianlewis196'sblog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Machu Picchu, Peru Entry Title: "A journey to remember" Entry: "Well, after a very good night´s sleep, I woke at 6.15 and lay wondering whether to get up. In the end, I decided I wouldn´t make a mad dash for the mountain but would have a wander round the hotel grounds and a leisurely breakfast before getting the 8.30 bus which would give me time before the hordes arrived at 9.40. However, I was dismayed to see a train pulling in just as I was walking through the station so I hastened my pace to beat the masses to the buses. There were quite a few people there by the time I arrived but it was generally quiet and I came across a chinchilla sitting on some rocks. I then met the younger Lebby´s who had hiked up Huanay Picchu that morning. I´d toyed with the idea for some fantastic photographs but, since it was already warm and there were places I wanted to see, I decided it wasn´t for me. I had my guidebook with me and wandered around in no particular order - getting to vantage points and looking out for places to see. I´d wanted to find a series of rooms and went up steps and down corridors looking for them but it seemed like I was in a maze.

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Puerto Montt, Chile by TravelPod blogger Skkatz921 titled "Puerto Montt, Chile" Skkatz921's travel blog entry: "Prior to our departure, we read about a couple, Gail and Veronica, who live in Puerto Montt and do tours for cruise ship passengers. Many people on CruiseCritic.com have used them and gave them good reviews. I liked their tour because it was in a van rather than a bus and it was much more reasonable in price than tours from the ship. Gail and Veronica were there to meet us just outside the harbor gate as promised. They had 9 people on the list for the tour and then picked up 2 more, so there were 11 of us. Veronica (who is Chilean) was our guide. Gail, her husband, (who is from the US) stayed behind because all the seats in the van were filled. Our first stop was the town of Frutillar. It is a small resort town on the edge of Lake Llanquihue. We stopped for photos at the pier, which is along the main street. The photos of the lake with the black volcanic sand beaches and Osorno volcano in the distance were picture postcard perfect. There were some clouds, but they made the photos more dramatic. The town was very small, and the houses all had a German feel. We were told that in the 1850's, German settlers were invited to settle here by the Chilean Government because they were afraid that Argentina would take the land as it was not occupied. After another stop for photos of a small museum with several restored ...
