Santiago is much like any other city really, busy, full of all sorts or weird and wonderful characters and smoggy (although if you look hard enough through the smog you can just make out the surrounding mountains). The B&B we are staying in is lovely and has a hammock and all. It´s in the Provencia Barrio of Santiago, quieter and prettier th...

Yeah! We are up to depart tomorrow morning... and nothing is done yet. Hahaha... Hopefully we'll make it out. Now, it's time to pack :)

I made it through the 2hrs 50mins night flight from Lima to Santiago. Got out of the airport to find the cash points slightly confusing. To change language it is the bottom left hand corner and the currency is large. 1 pound is $1000 peso. They do not have a decimal place so everyhing in 1,000´s it took a moment to get use to the currency and ...

Today we're off to a new country - Chile. Our bus was 9:45 from the bus station. We booked with TURBUS, a chilean company, and the cost was around 7GBP each with some sandwiches and a drink. We took the same route as yesterday, up to the border crossing - then the fun began. When we stopped the bus driver(s), who didn't speak english, indicated ...

Today I got up the earliest in my travel. It was 3:00am! My flight was 7:00am from Lima to Sydney. But this wasn´t a direct flight, and was going to wait for a conecting flight in Santiago of Chili, so I was due to get out of airport. After arrived at the airport, I went to the info and took a map. About 20 minutes later after I got on the bus, ...

Apres l'ile de Paques, on est reste 2 jours a Santiago du Chili avant de prendre un bus de 30 heures, direction Arica a la frontiere peruvienne. Comme on avait deja visite toute cette partie du Chili il y a 3 ans, on a prefere se concentrer sur le Perou. Quelques photos tout de meme de Arica.

Es un poco mas complicado para quienes venimos de paises sudamericanos, porque no existen conexiones directas a bkk .. asi que los vuelos se pueden hacer por australia (se necesita visa), New Zealand o tambien por Europa ... bueno nosotras elegimos la alternativa mas larga ... el 1er vuelo : SCL-MAD Santiago Madrid ... salimo...

Yet another night in santiago!  We arrived late and left early for Buenos Aires, didn{t do much but sleep!

January 10, 2007 Small World / Airport Hell / Ushuaia to Santiago Dear Readers: I rise early to prepare for disembarkation this morning. The sun is shining on the lovely city of Ushuaia through partly overcast skies. Luggage is out by 7:30am, at which time breakfast is served. After breakfast I gather up my carry-on bags and go to the pier to m...

Hello, So I tuned you all in to Santiago a little in the last entry. To make a long story short, I got lost..had a hard time with the language, but in the end all was well. I finally found my gate. People can smoke in this airport, and even though there's a non-smoking side...they're right next to each other with no seperation...not very logical...
