Ancud-Castro

1053 At terminal. Woke up about 930 and it was really pissing it down. Got up about 945 and out of room by 10, cleaned teeth and left. Amazingly it was sunny by this time and the weather held all the way here. Passing that greengrocer from last night I dithered but went in for some fruit & veg and carried it with me, then stood on corner diagonally opposite terminal for 15-20 mins eating it (figured slightly more private than terminal itself, but close enough to leg it over if it suddenly started to rain). The 11am bus just pulled up, so I have an hour to wait but can't be helped. Actually, I think that is going to Puerto Montt. Been peering at timetable in ticket window but not very clear. There is only an 1100 bus to Puerto Montt showing on Sundays but evidently this is a PM bus and of course it doesn't matter, I'm just bored.

Slightly tempted to buy some food here at terminal but will try to resist; be much nicer to eat in Castro and I think the bus only takes 1.5 hours, so even allowing for the (unknown distance) walk to hostel and checking in, I could be having lunch by 2:30 with a bit of luck, plus of course I have just eaten.

Some little kid is whistling, it is a bit piercing.

1208 On bus, leaving few mins late but no matter. Double seat, yay!

1335 At hostel, all seems good, wifi works. Tempted to inquire re Valdivia ticket at terminal but it's still early and it's v near so didn't, good job as forgot is another terminal (also near) so need to check that to get best price/option.
