We decided to euthanize Margarita today (quite likely we will only post this after she has been put to sleep and neither will be in a particularly good mood to write). In the last 2 months she progressively deteriorated to a point where she was not even too fussed by food and I had to feed her breakfast, lunch and dinner with my hand or she would not touch her plate (not to mention trick her to eat by putting olive oil on her food, or adding tomato sauce to her pellets etc). She also had lumps everywhere, at least a dozen: under her eyes, on her face, head, neck, back etc… and also inside her… lumps that we could feel and no doubt others that we could neither see nor feel.

Los Lagos
After a few relaxing days on Chiloe we decided to spend the last three nights back on the mainland north of Puerto Montt. This region of Chile is called "Los Lagos" for its numerous lakes and fjords. It also features spectacular snow capped volcanoes and National Parks with Valdivian temperate rain forest.

Chiloe
Over the Christmas period, we decided to do a little exploring on the Isla Grande de Chiloe. Chiloe is a group of islands and the isla grande is the largest island of the group: roughly 180 km long and 50 km wide. The easiest way to get there is to fly to Puerto Montt (which is a not particularly nice city which lies 1000km south of Santiago), then hire a car and cross over via a ferry (all very straight forward, just follow the signs, the ferry is roughly 10.000CLP).
