So anyway, the hostel´s owned by a lovely german lady named Rita (Meter Maid!) who was fantastic,her brekkie was amazing, typical euro steez with cooked meats and La Vache Qui Rit cheese!! She also had a small pool! Dan & Maree, you guys have to stay here...
This place is so cool, me and Fee had our dinner in the square with a bottle of wine although i dont think its wise to be drinking in public. Anyway, as we chowing down, these kids starting breakdancing on the podium in the middle of the square, they were amazing, I was going to get up and do my thing but I thought hey, i cant show them up in their own town and obviously, I had a bad back!!
Day trips are awesome here, yesterday we went to the Valle De Elqui where we visited the only organic vineyard in the valley and ended up buying the most beautiful Muscat.
chillin deep....
We also had a tour of a Pisco distillery which lasted for about 8 mins and was conducted in spanish by a 12 yr old chilean girl! We also hired bikes and rode along the dusty roads of the valley and bumped into a cowboy! ( as you do!)But, the best thing by far we did was last night. We went up to the Mamalluca Observatory and got an astronomy tour. WOW! we actually got to see nebulas, clusters, supernovas, Mars and even Saturn and its ring!! can you believe it, actually seeing Saturn´s ring with the naked eye!
Right I think thats enough gloating for now, hope you are all well and having a fun new year wherever you are. Please write and let us know what you are all up to!
Jules, thanks for your email, great to hear from you and cant wait to see you guys in March!
Walker, Fee thanks you for your birthday wishes, and hey all LFC fans, how crap are we???? 1-1 Wigan & Luton, for fcuks sake!! come on you reds!
We´re off to Bahia Ingles (English Beach!) now for some beach loving!!
You´ll never walk alone......

Your bro
What can i say. Looks fantastic out there, very jealous.
Anyway on to more important things..LFC. Big problems bro. The yanks are finding it hard to re finance with this credit crunch etc. so the stadium looks doomed. Its worrying times. Rafas job is safe however, at least until the summer, as they allowed him to buy a 6ft 4 central defender today that cost a whopping £7million.
Lets hope the blus sh**es get beat in their Cup Final semi final tonight.

All the best for the future, don't be a stranger
Just looked through your travel blogs, made up you are having a good time. It was great to see you in Poland before you left, I had almost forgotten how much of a light weight you are when you drink.
Make sure you send me all your details when you are settled, as who knows you may have visitors sooner than you think, as we would ove to come over if you would have us and out up with the kids !
I have sent something to your e-mail, a bit of a blast from the past, with a sentimental meaning at the same time.
All the best to you and Fee and good luck with the wedding & the new house hunting.
All our love Scott, Emma, Josh & Olivia
Work..........
Cant believe I am sat here in work (obviously supposed to be doing something, just not sure what) and you two are off swanning around the world drinking wine and breakdancing. The North West clearly has nothing on Chile! It sounds like you are having a great time, keep up the good work!
Take Care, Galley an Prince (
