After walking around Pucon, I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to just hang out in the town all afternoon. I would want to go do something, even though I was quite tired (sleeping on a bus as nice as it was just didn’t cut it). At my hotel I asked about tours or something and they recommended an outfitter for me. I headed over there to see what they had available. Unfortunately they didn’t have anything, but recommended that I rent a bike and bike to see some waterfalls. While my legs were killing me from all of the walking the previous day, I thought that this would be something that I would enjoy. They drew me a map and told me that it would be about 40 kilometers round trip. Do you know how far that is?!?!? I had a rough idea, but figured that I had 7 hours to do the trip and would enjoy seeing the waterfalls. I got the bike and headed to the store to get some water. I figured that 1.6 liters should be enough. Unfortunately I underestimated how hot it was that day and was wishing that I had gotten more water. The trip to the falls was along a dirt road through the mountains. I was an awsome trip and I met two guys, one from England and the other from Germany, along the way and talked with them. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t think I would have made it to the falls. Actually I’m sure that I would have, but it would have just taken me a bit longer. The guy from Germany said that the country side along the way reminded him of Austria. Finally we arrived at the falls and I was glad for the break. It ended up being a hot day and most of the riding was in the sun. I wasn’t bright enough to put on suntan lotion before heading out, so I could feel myself getting burnt. We spent about an hour at the falls and took numerous pictures. The trip back would be a bit longer, but along a paved road so it should have been a bit easier. Unfortunately the bike that I had was a piece of crap! I’m not blaming my entire ride on the bike, I know that I’m out of shape, but the bike was too small for me and I couldn’t get the tires filled with as much air as I needed to. The guys that I met ended up getting ahead of me, which was ok with me. I was getting to a point where I was thinking about hitchhiking back to town when I came upon these roadside stands. The first looked rundown, so I opted for the second one. Unfortunately they were still building that one and it wasn’t open so it was back to the first one. They had just what I needed though, some water and cookies! After a much needed rest, I continued back to town where I returned the bike and headed to my room to take a nap. I was going to go on a trip to the hot springs that night, but instead decided that I would take a much needed shower (my first since arriving, disgusting I know!) and get dinner. It ended up being an early night for me anyway since I was beat from the ride and walking.
