... place.We trekked around & up a little hill to view a castle – the view of the Andes was unreal – got a few nice pics there. Walked half way round town after that, dropping into Joke shops & other Cafes recommended in the lonely Planet, highlight of the joke shop being the DIY Vasectomy!Skipped Museums luckily!The Cafe we stopped in, I managed to get Half a Chicken – couldn’t finish it. Then the guys stopped into this place and got the crazy cheese ...

16/04 - Our pick up was at 4am to the airport as we say goodbye to Peru & hello to Chile. We arrived in Santiago at about lunchtime & just had a little look around & an afternoon nap. We went over to the Providencia area to catch up with Dave & Lucy from our last tour for dinner. It was a really fun night. 17/04 - After breakfast we went for a wander around the streets of Santiago. They have lots of beautiful parks here ...

With such a limited time in Santiago it isn't really fair to make a judgement on the city, but if first impressions count then I found it to be unremarkable, the great mountains that can be seen as the backdrop standing over the city are impressive, but the smog or mist so obscures them that they are merely a presence that gives a foreboding feeling and highlights the flat blandness of the ...

... somewhere before reaching the surrounding mountains. In the end I was sad to be leaving Santiago (and its beautiful chicas) so soon, but the lads had already spent two days there previously (though they weren't so enamoured with it on that occassion) and we've already spent far too long dawdling around the southern/expensive half of South America, so onwards and upwards to La Serena!

Hello to all of you from a very warm and sunny Santiago. The temperature was just right on arrival then hotted up in the afternoon but it is lovely to see the sun and we just noticed that it is still out at 8.15pm. Sorry to comment on this! We had a very good trip down with no delays or problems, just a bit tucked for space on the long flight. We had a lovely view of the Andes from the plane. Also the stars were wonderful, so bright ...

... les parents filer a l'aeroport et rejoins Janys, une copine rencontree le mois precedent en Argentine.

Nous visitons ensemble d'autres quartiers de la ville pendant 3 jours alors que je passe mes soirees avec Carolina, mon hote de couchsurfing. Tres sympa aussi bien qu'un peu trop fleur bleue ...

... a few packets of warm mayo on his McDonald's burger yesterday. Didn't he see "Supersize Me"? Also, we haven't had a lick of milk since we've arrived. Maybe it's because the milk is in the cereal aisle on the shelf, warm as the air. I don't understand.

So yesterday (Christmas Eve), we left Walter's early afternoon after going to the store and piling up on booze. We took the subway to the Marriott!!! Yes, maybe it's cheating but oh...it's soooooo ...

So we chatted away to our new friends and after polishing off a bottle of very nice Sauvignon Blanc I even plucked up the guts to speak to the German guys.

They actually turned out to be surprisingly interesting, as they both raced in dragon boat teams, which is ...
