Day 9: Sabbath Rest

So good to sleep in for the first time. We cruised around in Pichilemu shopping and eating and watching the crowds pass by. A sunny Sunday meant the streets were packed! A town of 5000 grows to 50,000 and we could not even get money out due to bank queues of 40 long. We had another surf and it was just a paltry 3-4' running for 300m - better than the best day at home but our worst surf here!

We took our 16 seat rental with drivers Pato and Jose (not sure why we need both of them?) and visited Cahuil. They make salt here and sell it alongside mounds of rock salt to get your attention. After much gesturing our driver "gifted" me with a 10kg bag...just what I need to take home on the plane?

Amazing blood red sunset at Punta de Lobos with seals and pelicans and late surfers. We had Chongy, Danny and Jason arrived to complete the Misfit team. Collapsed in bed at 11pm.

    Ah Brett it sounds awesome mate! It really is an amazing place! Give Mitch and family our best wishes and give Millo a big Hug from Pri and I! If you get a chance go fishing in the lake near lobos I think its called Dog Leg but not sure, anyway catch some little king fish really easy to catch or go off the beach for flounder (live bait fish or soft plastics bouncing along the sand work a treat) and ask Millo to cook them for you... He is a great cook!especially with fish!

    God be with you
