Best Western Hotel Apart Los Espanoles Santiago

... taking the metro to the west of the city and walking back through the middle to the east where we were staying.<br><br>Santiago is a remarkably unremarkable city. It´s clean, with good transport, modern shops, nice squares and large parks but there`s nothing that gives it a distinctive feel. Renee and I enjoyed wandering around for a good 4 hours taking the sights in but we were more overcome with the modernity of the city rather than the exceptional sights or things to do ...

... appears to be some pretty cool crafty type stuff to window shop which might keep me occupied. Seem to like their Penguins. Oh and Jeff, I can absolutely say for certain that Football IS the Sport-To-Watch here. Football games out match flight information on the televisions in the terminal.<br><br>Thats it for me. Have 6 more hours until I have to start looking for where bouts my Peru flight goes from. Going to find a nice seat to ...

... best restaurant in town and get 1 or 2 full bottles of the better stuff!<br><br>So the trip to Valparaiso and Vina del Mar was pretty well organised. We were picked up at 9am, which was compared to previous excursions and excellent pick-up time. The bus was nice, did not fall apart half way and everything went pretty smoothly. Although we did not think the 2 cities were overly exciting, it was nice to see a bit more of the country and the guide from ...

In Santiago angekommen merkten wir sofort, dass das BIP von Chile deutlich hoeher ist, als jenes der von uns zuvor besuchten suedamerikanischen Laender. Seit langem erinnerte uns die Hauptstadt Chiles, nach laengerer Zeit in Ecuador, Peru und Bolivien wieder an die gute alte Heimat und wir konnten fuer 2 Tage vergessen, dass wir uns in Suedamerika befanden (bis auf das noch immer vorhandene Spanisch ...

... history... <br><br> it is really crazy which then sitting on a bus for 24hrs heading for Peninsula Valdes on the complete opposite side of the country gave me more than enough time to reflect.<br><br> <br><br> The irony did not escape me as after eventually arriving on the coast that I was so far away from home sitting on a boat name "Na Nai'a" whereby the Argentinian owner told me it meant family of whales in Maori but ...

... a walking tour which was mapped out in our guide book but we cut out a few corners I think as it said it would take between 4-6 hours including stops but it only took us a little over half an hour. After the walking tour we took the metro again a few stops further along to the capital's largest open space, Parque Metropolitano. Its has two swimming pools, a botanical garden, zoo and art museum, unfortunately the zoo was closed and it was just a little too cold to ...

... office (a real office, not a tourist agent) to book my flight to Madrid. Debbie and I sat around planning my 1-year European trip over beer again, and I finally went back to the AA office to book the flight! I am so excited, but....have to finish this one first! We had taken the subway to el centro to the AA office, and Debbie knew her way around the subway like a ...

Aujourd'hui : rien. Matage de series en mageant des pasteles de Choclo (drole de plat sucre-sale qui se vend dans la boulangerie en bas). Nous arrivons le soir a Santiago chez Nelson qui vit en banlieu. Petite fete avec Liberty et trois amis de Nelson charmes par l'accent francais de Lucie, eheh ...

... the town where tired bicyclists were sipping energy drinks and young couples sitting on a granite parapet were paying attention neither to byciclists nor to a great city beneath. This is where I first tried mote con huesillos - a delightfully refreshing drink with dried peaches and some seeds of unknown to me origin. This is also I where I waited for sunset for many hours. It did not come. I got back on a funicular and walked down the streets lined with old ...

... dag zien én aanhalen!!! En wat een post!! Haha, half Januari hebben we de restand kerstkaarten open kunnen maken! Inmiddels zijn we ook weer beiden aan het werk.
