We started our day trip to the coastal town of Valdivia with an obligatory visit to the biggest beer brewery in the Lake District: "Cerveceria Kunstmann". As the name suggets, it has strong links to early German settlers (actually the buisiness dates back to a man from my hometown Dresden), which is also reflected in the restaurant's menu: "Eisbein mit Sauerkraut". After enjoying a good German-style lunch, we continued to Valdivia's riverside fishmarket, where sealions feast on the leftovers. Judging by their massive body weight, we didn't expect this market to be a big sucess though...
Just next to the giant water beasts it is possible to embark a nutshell to explore the brackwater labyrinth around Valdivia. In the middle of these wetlands stands the ruin of the German Mann's family, one of the first settlers in the region. Interesting, yes - but this boat trip would have been much more holiday'ish, if it wouldn't have been throwing down on us 24/7!
