The drive was of course beautiful but when we arrived at the lake, we discovered that, although it was warmer than Lake Villarrica, calling it warm was a bit of a stretch. We did, however, find that there were kayaks, canoes and peddle boats for rent for about two dollars an hour. We saw some islands out on the lake and so everyone picked their watercraft of choice and headed off. Andrew and Chris got in one kayak, Morielle and Fiona in another, and Julia, Elli and I got in a peddle boat (I would have preferred the kayak, but Elisabeth was worried about capsizing). The kayaks quickly got way ahead of us, as we peddled our way towards our destination. Unfortunately, if you peddle there, you have to peddle back again. The kayakers were there and back within an hour, but it took us an extra half hour to finally make it back. We were definitely ready to eat.

So much for finding a warm lake! That's the lake we paddled out to is in the distance.
We found a nice restaurant where we were the only customers. Since everything was cooked from scratch, we entertained ourselves with fancy napkin folding and were soon joined by our waiter who demonstrated some really fancy folds. We enjoyed our meal, and headed home.

Our last day it was raining, so we took care of laundry, wrote some blog posts, played cards, and relaxed. Tomorrow we would begin our journey home.
With rain comes rainbows.
