Day 3 – Santiago
Well today has been a very interesting day. It started by going to the tax office to get some more information on cars to find that they were on strike or a public holiday or something. We couldn’t quite work it out. Anton and I decided to go to a car yard Read More »

Yes I know the three entries before this are blank, but they won’t be and then this won’t make sense but that’s the magic of blogging. We have lots to tell you about but tours and a lack of wi-fi have meant we’ve got a bit behind. We’re in Santiago now in a Read More »
Just arrived in Santiago, Chile. Still pretty overwhealmed. Cant actually believe i am here, it still hasnt sunk in at all. The flight was pretty good except for the fool behind me who thought she was a socialite and did not stop talking for five minutes. I feel sorry for the guy next to her Read More »
So its my last day in Santiago, and then we head off to Quito, Ecuador. Santiago has definitely been and interesting experience, the poverty still makes me uncomfortable but I guess staying in this area has given me a more authentic experience… I even had my first bout of food posioning from the local food!

Leaving Santiago we travelled South to the Pacific Coast town of Pichelmu. There´s not much to this place from a tourist perspective, but the big attraction is the surfing. The largest wave surfed in the world last year, over 10 metres high, was located here at the point break of Los Lobos. Having only dipped Read More »
So the past few days have been very eventful!
On Sunday we went to watch the local soccer team, Colo Colo in he play offs. Im not usually a soccer fan at all, but i have to say that the whole experience was an absolute blast. Nicole´s family didnt really think it was a great idea Read More »
Well it seems like it has been a while since I have posted anything. I have been sick for what feels like a week with a sore throat and a cold. I went to a doctor yesterday and I got some antibiotics that appear to be helping. My always troublesome tonsils are really struggling with Read More »
ATM’s: Again Trouble Makers
After crossing the border with Chili I took the bus to San Pedro de Atacama. It is a small town and very touristy. While I was sitting at a terras in front of the restaurant having a coffee I started talking with people who were sitting on the next table. They were Read More »
