Getting ready for canopy tour - Harvey did the tour on the slopes of the mountain.	Going to the stations - After training up to the canopy itself - scary!	Crossing a rather wobbly bridge - Nearing the start of the canopy activity.
Please don't let me stop short of the tree - Oh, the ignominy! I would have to turn around and crawl hand-over-hand in front of the others.	Mind the tree! - Coming up too fast! Whoa! How does one slow this down. (Pull R.H.down; Stop squeezing - Idiot!)	Made it.
Company - My travelling companions, with some of our guides.	Various activities available - We could ride horses, do canopy tour or ski boating. I walked around	Waiters - The breakfast display looked so good. The Chilean food was very simple, uncluttered and without sauces.
Playing with camera - Trying to show snow against a white skyline. Either Osorno, Puntiagudo or Tronodor volcano	Looking at hotel at Peulla - From the Puerto Frias customs post looking back at the hotel where we had taken part in 'ecological activities'.	Llama or vicuna - Small horselike mammal.
Water everywhere - Where ever you looked there was water, either a lake, waterfall or snow.	Crossing over - At the border post met a dour customs official. Looked at me as if I was a criminal, checked his list under the desk.	Feeding wild foxes - As our bus stopped in the national park at Puerto Blest foxes ran to the bus - to be fed!
Catamaran on lake - Cruised slowly over the lake from Puerto Frias to Bariloche.	Slow cruising among glaciers and volcanoes - The air outside was COLD.
