旅行は私の人生なのだ

Because I slept quite early last night, I still wake up in the early morning.

It's my lasy day in Santiago, so I didn't buy any food and drink my only orange juice as the breakfast.

I even check in my flight from Hong Kong to Taiwan on the internet and print the boarding pass for 100 pesos in the hostel.

As for the attractions today, I only decides to visit the zoo and Santa Lucia Hill.

Around eight o'clock, the bus arrived at Santiago bus station.

The seat is quite comfortable, so I slept well.

Alamenda bus station is just next to Santiago bus station and the metro is also nearby.

In the morning, we have our early breakfast before going to the bus terminal.

Due to the location of this hostel, there is an way without any deep ascent to the station.

If you walk from the plaza, there wiil be a long deep ascent before the station.

Although the ferry arrived at Puerto Montt around 4 a.m, the tourists leaves the ship after the breakfast around 9 a.m.

Yesterday, the staff introduced about the attractions around Puerto Montt included the Chiloe Island.

The red buildings that I could see around the port is the recommended place, Angelmo.

I'm ready for going back to Puerto Natales after the leisure weekend in El Calafate.

The familiar Bus Pacheco comes again following the same route just like going home.

In the hlaf way, we take a short break at the gas station.

Coming back to El Calafate in the evening, I buy the hamburger at the store near to the hostel.

To stay at El Chalten for hiking one day more is also fine, but my feet seem need to rest.

In this popular town, maybe I could find some interesting activities for the next two days.

When I check in the hostel, the staff still promote their special glacier hiking to me.

Today is the 12th day of my journey in South America.

El Chalten is the next destination where most hikers will visit in Argentina just as Torres del Paine in Chile.

We drag the luggage toward the bus terminal.

Though the main street is still silent, the ternimal is already crowed with people.

Today, we're going to Argentina for the glacier activities.

I arranged about one week in Argentina for Perito Morreno glacier and El Chalten.

My first experience of the glacier is the 4-hour hiking in Franz Josef, New Zealand.

Afterwards, I've ridden the skidoo in Iceland and walked on Greenland's icecap.

Today, we will go to Puerto Natales, and then the tiring four-day hiking is coming.

Though we ask the hostel to call for a taxi for us to the bus office, the taxi doesn't come in time and we walk directly there with our big luggages.

Sometimes you have to arrange more time to prevent such a event.

The bus to Puerto Natales takes about three hours and the seat is comfortable.

Monday, we take the private taxi to the airport for the domestic flight.

There is a fun luggage "tower" in the middle of the domestic area that looks unreal.

Due to the unknown reason, we wait for the flight for more than one hour and the announcement is only in Spanish.

That's fine. I know that the cheap flights sometimes delay.

The day defore my departure to Chile, I still have something to do.

Due to these easy routines, I fly a day later after my friend to Santiago.

The journey this time is a group travel but also includes individual trips.

We both have our private time in Santiago and personal trips for a week for different interests.

Because of this special plan, the schedule for applying Visa is a hard job for me.

結束了半天不到的聖地牙哥最後觀光，其實還有大把的時間，但我選擇在旅舍裡發呆度過

早上預約好了私人計程車，雖然價格是 12000 披索，但這種熱天，我就是不想拖著行李到處奔波

輕鬆的抵達機場，想說捕拍一下剛抵達智利時的交通車窗口

早上悠閒的起床 (其實是睡了快 12 小時)，因為最後一天懶得再買什麼食物，就等一會出去再看情況吃東西吧

因為已在港龍登機的 48 小時內，為了能輕鬆的轉機，利用了短暫的時間辦理線上報到

La Casa Roja 可以列印，一張的登機證只花了我 100 披索

今天要去什麼地方呢？我想了想，還是跟自然有關的比較合我的胃口，於是我決定去逛動物園

乘坐著舒適的夜車，睡一覺，正好醒來就到了聖地牙哥

JAC 巴士停在頗大的 Alamenda 車站 (其實應該算 Santiago 車站，但就在 Alamenda 車站旁，根本分不清)

車站附近就有捷運，我們熟練的搭上捷運，回到了 La Casa Roja

一大早，我們把握最早的時間享用完了旅舍的早餐

原本還想說這間旅舍位在上坡，地理位置沒有很完美，但事情並不儘然

為什麼呢？因為多數的長途巴士站也都位在上坡，這整個 Varas 鬧區就像是在一個湖邊的半盆地，週圍全是上坡

雖然清晨時分，渡輪早抵達了 Puerto Montt，但還是等到了八點乘客們都用完了早餐之後

才在九點之後，讓乘客們下船，告別這四天三夜的行程

前一天船上還介紹了湖區及 Chiloe 半島值得參訪的地方，而 Puerto Montt 則推薦要來逛逛 Angelmo

在未下船之前，可以瞧見港口附近左方有一群紅色建築，那便是 Angelmo 的所在

在 El Calafate 的悠閒週末之後，我準備要回 Puerto Natales 搭渡輪了

又看見了熟悉的 Bus Pacheco，走著相同的路，有一種回家的感覺

中途會在一處休息站停留，不過我的阿根廷幣已經花到所剩無幾，只能忍著等到回到智利境內
