Boulevard Suites Hotel Boutique Santiago

... We headed through the main business district, full of suits scoffing hot dogs loaded with condiments (the the equivalent of the English sandwich in Chile it seems) and visited the large Plaza de Armas, and a number of parks. We proceeded through town and back to, in our opinion, the nicest area of town, Bellavista.<br><br>Renee had felt the effects of the Chilean beer the night before so we opted for a more civilised dinner at one of the nicer sushi restaurants in the area ...

... in to.<br> <br>Have a lovely Friday :o)<br><br>F.<br><br>=======<br><br>I fully endorse the healing power of a chuppa chup.

... Tour did give us some interesting information about Chile during the bus ride. We drove through 2 beautiful valleys; the first one was one of the largest fruit producing regions in Chile and the second was Casablanca, well known to wine lovers (that is, if you do drink new world wines). Ivo was excited to be at the summer house of one of his favourite poets, Pablo Neruda. Also I picked the nose of one of the Easter Island Moai and we were excited to see ...

... beindruckend fanden wir (neben der Tatsache dass Santiago mit einer einer Einwohnerzahl von ca. 6 Millionen Leuten etwa 40 Prozent aller Chilenen beherbergt) die Lage von Santiago: Erklimmt man den Cerro Santa Lucia, einen etwas hoeher gelegenen Park in der Stadt, erblickt man direkt hinter zahlreichen Wolkernkratzern die schneebedeckten Gipfel der Anden, ein wirklich beeindruckender Anblick.<br ...

We're now over ten months into the trip, and officially have just one country left to visit, having spent the last five weeks enjoying the delights of Bolivia and Chile. Highlights of this time include: - Having completely irrational thoughts at the end of a three hour walk through the rainforest upon finding that our boat wasn't where it should be. Even though it turned up half an hour later Emily had already ...

Day 84 Thursday 26th March - Sydney to Chile Woke at about 4am as the Chinese guy to beds down had got up to go to the loo and I thought he was getting up for work. It was only when I saw him get back in bed that I relaxed and went back to sleep. Woke up again at around 5:30am when he got up for work and then got up and showered so I knew I was up. He was going to the airport so we shared a taxi. While I was waiting for a taxi I got a bacon butty ...

Hola todos, We´re now in Santiago, and having a great time...its such a cool city! We arrived on Wednesday, and went to a hostel called La Casa Roja, which is a huge renovated colonial mansion, where they had baked beans on toast for breakfast!!! Yum! Unfortunately, they had only put us on the waiting list for a room, and in the end, they didnt have space for us, so we went to another hostel across town, which is awesome...in such a cooler neighbourhood than the first one ...

... Chile is one of the top ten wine producing countries and the winery 'Concha y Toro' is the most famous in the country. It is named after its founder who brought over a grape from Bordeaux in 1883. We did a tour around the winery and the place was truly beautiful and reminded us of the wineries in California. Although it was only 10am, it did not stop us having a few glasses including ...

... vrije en hebben we de openbare bus genomen naar de kust. Vina del Maris het geworden. Tja, wat zullen we er over zeggen; het is een badplaats zoals we die kennen. met wat marktjes er om heen.. Heerlijk genoten van de strandstoelen met parasol! De zee was heerlijk! begin koud maar wanneer je eenmaal door was.. Wat een golven, sterke onderstroom ook trouwens! Jammer van de grote pakschepen, die ...
