<br>Ok lets start of with the so called bus journey, it was a disaster. The first 10 hr bus journey. <br>- seats beside the toilets<br>- no tissue in the toilets<br>- children sitting in front of us got sick everywhere<br>- no food.<br>Only for the amazing views going through the Andes I think we would of cracked up! The <br>scenery would be hard to describe even the pictures we took did not do it ...

... president, Michelle Bachelet, and his pride in Chilean women whom he describes as strong and hardworking. He is a single father who works in Arica while his young son lives much farther south with his parents. I don´t know his story, but is always something interesting to meet a single father.<br><br>I ate my first completo today- a hot dog in an oversized bun with tomatoes, avocado, and mayo. It ws surprisingly good. I think it´s ...

... to see San Marcos Church. The church was designed by Gustav Eiffel, built in France and shipped over in pieces to be assembled at the base of the cliff El Morro which was the sight of a major naval victory in the early 19th century war between Chile and Peru.<br><br>On Wednesday we woke up, had another one of Franklin's breakfasts and headed for the Terminal Terrestre to begin our 29 hour, 2085 kilometer bus ride down Chile's coast to Santiago.

Si, pentru ca am uitat sa va spun ca niste spanioloaice nemernice s-au bucurat la costumul meu de baie si s-au carat cu el, am cautat un costum de baie. De unde? Aici este toamna. Canci costum. Nimic. Niciunde!! Am renuntat la costum si ne-am tratat cu un ¨helado gigante, dos sabores¨. Apoi ne-am dus sa vedem ...

... sick on buses (and im sitting next to her). We hit off a little after 1 and the journey was to last 6 hours, the driver was a maniac drivin at least 70 around nearly 90 degree bends, we were being thrown from side to side the whole way. I was nearly sick and Catriona was seriously shook. We eventully made it without any sick incidents which was a minor miricle. When we got there we had to find a way to cross the border into Chile and it was 8 at night. We headed to ...

... owner of the hostel. It turned out to be quite a journey, crossing disused railway lines and accidentally wandering into military zones of the port. When we finally made it, it was just a little bit depressing.
