Well after 4 days and 3 nights on a bus we finally made it to Pucon. Our first day in Pucon we managed to get our first taste of Chilean whitewater - pretty sweet! This is such a beautiful part of the world and there are so many rivers so close to town. Planning to stick round this part of the world for the next month or two, hitting up the rivers and national parks. Managed to buy a car to aid us in our kayaking adventures, only to have it broken into and a bunch of stuff stolen the first night we had it - stink! Good thing I talked Nicholas into that travel insurance. We lost my pack (pretty much all my stuff except my paddling gear) and two day packs. The main hit we took was the tent, which puts a bit of a dint in our camping plans. But there is a sweet crew of paddlers here and we have been well looked after, with a place to stay and more boating to be done. At least we managed to hold onto our passports and credit cards and Nicks camera so will have to post some more photos soon.
Peace, Em.

Shaun and Jacs - Great work as usual!
Had a recurculating adventure on the Waihohonu last weekend. Missed a portage thanks to some poor 10-year old remembering by Ian. 3 people, 3 playboats, 3 paddles getting washing machined in a chasm fun fun times. Word out!@

at least you kept the most important bits... the camera and kayaking gear! It's cool to hear how things are progressing (even if it not all good)
myself, i'm in colorado at present. after getting sent to scotland i changed my return ticket to denver and have been hanging out with helmo for the past week. they have just got lots of snow here so the season is shaping up nicely :) (checkout my blog for photos if you get a chance) peau peau
later guys
Hope you were wearing at least one pair of undies when the robbery happened Nicky, it would be such a catastrophe otherwise. Wish you guys can find gear and robers. Am sure this will only be a slight down to your awesome trip.
Oh my God I have only just realized you can post comments!
I hope you two are making the most of this insurance business, and that its not slowing you guys down at all. Least they didnt confront you with a gun! yeah bad thought...am thinking of you both - Merry xmas!
XO Jacs
