Hotel Vegas Santiago

... our mid life crisis , didn't really fancy a porsche, and hair colour - pah. Starting in South America then US, Europe, India, Nepal , South East Asia then finishing in China. Hostels all the way except for the odd flash hotel that the wife insisted on.

... toppen Cerro San Chrisobal med utsikt over byen. Dette er vel det styggaste utsiktspunkt eg har vore på! Minst 6-7 ulike antenneanlegg og elektriske leidningar over alt! Av dei tre storbyane eg har besøkt til no, så kjem nok Santiago nederst på ...

... for $1 and spent about $4 on some other machines.  By this time we were shattered and headed back to the hotel. We've now booked 4 nights in a hostel in Santiago in Chile, so when we land we've got somewhere to stay. Las Vegas in a nutshell is like ...

... am I doing etc etc etc Let's start at the beginning...while we were hiking the Camino de Santiago, I decided that I either wanted to work in London or Vegas. London because I thought I could crack the travel agency market, Vegas for the hotels ...

... , apparently it's subsidized by the Chilean government. In Ecuador, the gas was just over a dollar a gallon. Also, people in Santiago seem to consider the current weather to be very cold, everywhere we go people are wearing winter coats, scarves, and ...

... same day so after travelling for 11 hours, I`d gone back in time by 5 hours which was all very bizarre. My 1st impression of Santiago was not a good one as the taxi man ripped me off as although he charged me round about the right price for the taxi ...

... as well. And they wait for you to pay after you have the check and then they wait for the tip after you recieve change! Santiago really is a modern city. They show some care in the upkeep of their 200 yo buildings, unlike BA. There are a few more ...

Well here Erin and I are in Santiago..we have had a great day today doing a bus ride around the <city...I think the prices were a¨little bit more for us tourists...but a great way to see all around the city.It´s quite an amzing city with lots of cool ...

... we fortunately could bypass thanks to a reservation made the previous evening. The concept of lunch is here is similar to a Las Vegas Buffet, but add an incredibly big grill with huge sections of meat of every kind and much more interesting ...

... to myself knowing that my only agenda for the day was to find a cup of coffee and maybe visit the only thing in Santiago I had been interested in seeing, the palace La Moneda (the governmental seat of Chile- think the White House of Chile). So I ...

... were all as impressed as I was.  For those that remember the beautiful Andrea, the Chilean hostess from Puerto Fuy in Santiago that I raved about, this hostess could have been her blonde, American cousin.  For those that don't remember or don't ...

Okay.. time to let everyone know I´m alive again.  Lots has happened since my last entry.. Spent my last day in Santiago with good friends from the school soaking up the rays on the San Cristobal pool.. couldn't´t have asked for a better last ...

... Sydney to Santiago flight. Therefore I had some guy's head in my lap for 11 hours. And no movie!! Ain't travel grand?! Santiago is a very clean, very green city, certainly by South American standards. Nestled in the narrow end of a broad valley it seems ...

... to Valparaiso, one of South America's oldest port cities, patrimony of humanity and historic sites. 2/15 9:15 am: Departure from hotel in Santiago to Aconcagua Valley about 90 km. from Santiago. 12:00 am Tour and wine tasting of 2 reserves wines made ...

... the sign next door for the dog kennels?? We are still OK so 'no worries'. I am now writing this at the airport hotel in Santiago, having just had a refreshing swim in their lap pool after a session on the stationary bike in the gym. Have to try to work ...

... too which is completely bizarre. From the outside, it looks like a cross between a Star Wars ship and the 'Luxor Hotel' in Las Vegas. Truly horrendous. Outside they sell popcorn (because that just makes sense) and you go in and although the building ...

... stuff, and not sitting alone in a hotel room.So, without further ado, here's what happened in Buenos Aires... Erin and I left Santiago, Chile around 10 AM on September 11, and just for the record, the Santiago airport had some kick ass gift shops. We ...

... and a massive cake (not totally equal shares of the latter), and avoided the cloudy orange home-made cider, unlike several elderly dancing Chilean men. From Valdivia it was a mere 11 hour hop by night bus back to Santiago and our flight to Rapa ...
