... the hang of things and all 4 of us were starting to get cocky – why not!

180 degrees were tried – there were quite alot of wipeouts to follow!

Jack, Horse & Me decide we needed a break though – Fitzy powered through for more practise as there was a bet on the worst snowboarder having to buy drinks!

The 3 of us wandered up to get a hot chocolate – unbelievable idea – was expensive but beautiful – an amazing Caramel Hot Chocolate ...

... a music video shoot for an up and coming Chilean artist. Andres took us to a fish market where Rob nearly exploded with happiness. There was every time of sea creature you could imagine looking perfectly and for pretty much free. We had lunch at this great little place in the market where Rob quietly ate a GIANT bowl of mixed seafood with a huge smile ...

Nach 11 Stunden Flug mit LAN Chile lande ich in Santiago und finde mit Bus und U-Bahn auch recht schnell den Weg zum Hostal. Nun stehen nur noch Duschen und Schlaf nachholen auf dem Programm. Am Sonntag finde ich noch Zeit neben den ueblichen Organisatorischen Dingen wie Bustickets kaufen, Fluege umbuchen usw. eine kleine Sightseeing Tour durch die Stadt zu machen. Plaza de Armas, die Kathedrale und ein kleiner ...

It's like a gun hanging in the backroom waiting for someone to take it and shoot from it in the final play act. The curve of my circumnavigation soon led me to Plaza de ...

... was intrigued and skeptical about his recommendation. "Intrigued" because the carignan varietal comes from southern France where it has been shunned (and more recently revived), but this was the first time I had heard of its existence in Chile. "Skeptical" because the carignan grape is notorious for its high tannins, acidity and bitterness - a most inappropriate pairing for seafood. In spite of my concerns, the soft-spoken ...

... raukka kiljui ja oli ihan shokissa. Tärisi koko yön. Sen tassu on vieläkin epäkunnossa. Käytiin eläinlääkärillä, ja se sano et paras hoito olisi leikkaus, mikä maksaisi 300 000 pesoa, eli noin 450€. Vaihtoehtoinen hoito on sidonta, ja niin ollaan nyt hoidettu. Huomenna kontrolliin. Raukka parka on ihan rampa. Toivottavasti nyt parantuisi. Haluaisin kovasti tuoda Cocan Suomeen, mutta ei siinä olis mitään järkeä. Maksaa aika lailla ja koira ...
