San Sebastian I Santiago

Hi Mum and dad<br>Thought i would write a quick seperate message for you.<br>No I didn´,t sleep very well on the plane so watched a couple of movies...saw Julie and Julia about Julia Child.It was good...she used to make me laugh when watching her as a kid..slapping the meat etc,it was good I enjoyed it.We didn´,t ...

... smoggy, but could just make out the shape of the Andes in the background. Amazing. Hard to believe we are going to drive in a bus over the top of them to get to Argentina.<br><br>Bus trip is to take 18 hours. We were unable to get a sleeper in the bottom section so will have to tough it out upstairs.<br>

... and huge amounts of pizza places too. Not quite the unique cuisine that we thought it might be! <br><br>With one chapter of the trip ending another one begins, this time Asia! A continent we know a little more about after holidays over there but one we are very much looking forward to spending a lot more time exploring. First we get to spend 5 days in an (allegedly) English speaking country&#8230; we get to say G&#8217;day to Australia!

... he becomes the target for bullying for all the other children. You would think that most one-year olds aren't aware enough socially to begin fighting and bullying, but with these kids they are used to biting, pushing and shoving if it means getting 10 seconds of extra attention, be it good or bad. This poor kid is the only one in the entire hogar that doesn't fight back, and as a result is covered in bite marks ...

... a run i thought I was intruding. We went up over to the hill where there was a statue of the virgin mary, unfortunatley with it being cloudy we didnt get a great view of the city with the Andes as a backgroud, well we couldnt see them. Well after that we went over to San Pedro de Atacama, the driest desert in the world and it involved a 25 hr drive there and back. But it was definetley worth it ...

... attempted a not-so-scientific experiment to see how many different nationalities could pass out together whilst wedged uncomfortably into a two-by-four metre balcony. <br><br><br>The result was sadly not recorded. Neither - you´ll be gobsmacked to find out - was anything noted in my journal that day. In retrospect, aside from this chance all-day bender and an amusing visit to a Moulin-Rouge-meets-Hooters style cafe (scantily-clad women ...

Hello to all of you from a very warm and sunny Santiago. The temperature was just right on arrival then hotted up in the afternoon but it is lovely to see the sun and we just noticed that it is still out at 8.15pm. Sorry to comment on this! We had a very good trip down with no delays or problems, just a bit tucked for space on the long flight. We had a lovely view of the Andes from the plane. Also the stars were wonderful, so bright ...

... de 30m de haut. L'ange et la poupee sont amoureux et se retrouvent au coin des 2 principaux axes de la ville apres s'etre cherche pendant 2h dans le reste du centre ville. Scenario un peu difficile a comprendre mais grandiose. Le temps presse, je n'ai plus grand chose a faire a Santiago, salue mes amies et pars passer 3j sur la cote du cote de Valparaiso, a la recherche d'un village pittoresque et de soit-disant meilleurs plages chiliennes.

... room! I wasn´t very impressed with the girl-watching yesterday in Santiago, but today definitely made up for it! This hotel seriously lacks business sense - they´ve got this girl working in the back office, where nobody can see her! Don´t they realize how much more business they´d generate if she was working the front desk? Especially with the backpacking crowd - most of them simply show up at a place, and ask to take a look before deciding if ...

... branch to which it was attached to ask them to check the machine. (Thank God she was so helpful, there was no way we could have done this ourselves in Spanish!)<br><br>They said that they didn't have my card, which didn't make sense, so they either couldn't be ***** to check, or they had found the card and were being dishonest ...
