Hotel Director El Golf Santiago

... time. The crowd is roaring and everyone is wearing red, white and blue (Chile colors) except for a teeny, tiny section of yellow (Ecuador). I've come to the conclusion that hot sweaty soccer boys are fun to watch. One goal the entire game and I get it on video. Amazing! Chile takes the win. South Africa for the world cup, its a done deal.

... after us. The young American girls were studying in Santiago, and were around 20 years of age, but it was immediately obvious that socially, they were back around 14 or 15 years old. At one point in the ride, the girls, whom we gathered from explicit conversations were not a fan of the opposite sex (in any capacity), had a long conversation about how men were completely unnecessary in the world. This, combined with the incessant ...

... okay city, it´s well developed and good for shopping, eating and drinking. Someone told me recently that it is the people you meet that makes a place great. I beg to differ, I have met some very interesting, entertaining people here but I still wouldn´t call Santiago great. However I am more in to scenery than cities so maybe I am biased. My next journey will take me through Chile´s lake district and into Patagonia. I´m expecting the ...

I have exciting news; on our flight from Auckland to Santiago, we discovered something: Time travel is possible! We left Auckland at 17.25 on the 9th Feb and managed to arrive in Santiago almost 5 hours earlier at 12.45. The unfortunate result of this is jet lag as we have never experienced before. We arrived at the hostel and slept in the afternoon, our first mistake. We woke up that evening to find that it was Pisco Sours night and were fed the ...

... la pays pour des raisons sanitaires. La descente est impressionnante directement a flanc de montagne dans une vingtaine de de courbes pour rejoindre la vallee. Arrives a Santiago, nuos deposons nos affaire a l'Hostal Tales. Tres bonne adresse dans un quartier historique pres du centre. Ensuite nous partons nous ballader. Nous allons au musee voir une exposition sur Diego Rivera et Frida Kahlo ...

... it was the best option - this was confirmed when we arrived and saw the hostess. All I can say is ... WOW!!! Definitely one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life - both classically and naturally beautiful, the receptionist had that combination of supermodel/cute girl next door look that is so prevalent in Spain, but seems so rare to encounter in the rest of the world. Normally when I go to a restaurant, I don´t ...

... we like it here but we need to fly to Quito in Ecuador, which is our entry point for our trip to the Galapagos Islands, which we're REALLY looking forward to!<br><br>I hope that you all managed to avoid an apocalyptic hangover today and that you've started 2008 in the best possible way! <br><br><br>Lots of love, <br><br><br>Mr Q. Hungover and Mrs V. Hungover xx<br><br>P.S. - I must have been struggling today... no photos! ;)<br><br>

... is everywhere!)<br> <br><br>We really liked Santiago - and preferred it to Buenos Aires - although the weather was better which may have affected our judgement! <br><br>After looking round the Plaza de Armas and the shopping streets off it we started searching for somewhere to eat. However everywhere seemed to be closed. We eventually found a chain (Chilean chain though not US) were we got lovely Bistec al a ...
