We arrived back in Buenos Aires to prepare for Chile. After a baggage switch at Miles and Natilies’ flat that included wine and 1.5 hours of chit chat, we arrived at our hotel 2 AM for 1.5 hours of sleep. 3:30 AM we were up or our taxi to the airport and people were still partying in the streets. We arrived in Santiago where our guide, Gregg Henderson of Seawold Lodge Chile (http://www.seawolf.cl), picked us up from the airport. We had a slight problem going from the airport to our next destination when Gregg’s van broke down. He called some of his connections and within 1 hour we were back on the road.
Our first stop was the Undurraga Winery (http://www.undurraga.cl) established in 1885, one of the oldest wineries in Chile. The wine that we enjoyed the most was their Chardonnay Reserve 2006. The winery had a winery museum displaying methods for making wine in the past and extensive wine cellars.
After the wine tour, we drove to Pichilemue, a small fishing village that would be our base of operations for Chile and rented surfboards right away. The waves were looking good and I got in the water right away. It was a 2-4 foot left point break in town and going off. While I was surfing Denay went and bought provisions for the next four days.
That night we had dinner at Luna del Mar a little restaurant where Denay had Salmon and Greg had Chicken. We shared some spicy and tasty salsa with bread which was also delicious. After dinner we went back to Gregg Henderson’s Lodge and went to sleep.
