We arrived in Santiago after an overnight bus from Pucon, and yet another screaming baby....but on the bright side - the sun was out in Santiago and it seemed like a completely different city than the one we had visited at the start of our journey.  Once again it was awesome arriving at Dellīs apartment in the lovely Las Condes, almost like coming home! 

With the help of Dellīs 2 restaurants we had one of our best eating days since we left NZ....Paul was absolutley stoked with his Kiwi style big breakfast at Dellīs Cafe Melba, which was topped off with Kiwi fish and chips for dinner at Akarana (even came in newsprint with malt vinegar....how cool is that?).  Akarana also looked like a different restaurant from when we were here in the snow 2 months ago, the outdoor bar and all the tables looked amazing, and once again we had an unreal meal, yummy wines and a terrific host - Dell is like our South America mum now.... 

So this is the end of our South America chapter, 10 weeks, 5 countries and many unforgettable memories later.  I will never forget Peru and its challenges and beauty, Machu Picchu is still a highlight, as well as the Iguacu Falls, Brazil and colourful city of Rio, and our recent climb of Villarica in Chile capped it all off nicely.   

So I guess its time to day....Gracias and Adios to South America - Central America here we come......
