party
K had a good party i'm told it was a real blast. They got a really gd app in Mayfair near the hotel as the app they booked had a leak so on friday they offered K this one at the same price. Guess they were double booked. Can't believe your trip is half way through. Saw a film yesterday on G islands it looks fabulous. Remember to phone K next Sunday. J

Photos
Regarding the various photos of the indigenous people in their traditional attire, there were so many other people around they didn´t notice that I was taking photos. I think they would have been embarassed if I had asked their permission, and if they did accept, it would have been difficult to get a natural pose.

Flying into Chile
Lynae It´s always cheaper to book your internal flights as part of an air pass before you travel. Contact the airline you´re traveling with and they will advise you. Joe

Flying
Hey, my name is Lynae and a friend and I are traveling to Chile for three weeks at the end of the month. I've been trying (and not succeeding) to find out whether or not I should book our tickets for our in-country flights now or if its not that big of a hassle to do it while we are down there. What did you do? Any tips or information would be great. Thanks!

catch up
it easy to get distracted (and jealous) by the daily blogs at work so i've decided to check it once per week. This way i get a good story and don't spend 30 mins afterwards sitting in work thinking - why am i not out there? brazil seems interesting, but not as picturesque as i thought. i guess i'm probably more into the coastal towns and islands where the picture postcard diving would be my kind of thing. i must admit i'm impressed with your self discipline on these updated blogs. I'd have thought that the effort would have dwindled by this stage but it hasn't. It's also a good thing as i know if they come to a sudden stop, something is up and i have a fear in the back of my mind i'd be runing round irish bars in argentina with a dodgy picture of you saying - have you seen this guy recently? the map functionon some of your recent blogs is also quite good so keep that up. I expect back at the school the teachers are talking the kids through your progress which i'm sure is ver educational to them. Here i'm having a much needed weekedn off - no serious partying or rushing around to visit people, just chilling in manchester, catchin up on normal household jobs, which as i glace at my todo list is actually about 20 items long. we're sorting a few things for the wedding this weekend - a trip to a wedding show last month shows there is much to sort out and the cost is more like £20k rather than the £15k i originally hoped it would cost. We've sorted a saving plan adn we're on track. Business in this last week was tough, i sacked colette on the based of consistent underperformance. Not the first time i've done it but this was was difficult as she pleaded with me for a long time about how hard she's trying, which is true but results are far short of what i need. can't wait for a holiday this xmas when i'm right up for a week in ireland from 20th dec to 27th. anyway, keep up the blogs and if you fancy writing anything less formal for others not to see email me direct. ps the haircut shorted has taken years off you! love robX

Joe, I hope you´re enjoying the rest of your trip. I´ve already seen the photos. They´re absolutely fantastic. I laughed at the one I´m with the armadillo. It´s really funny. The trip was amazing. I´m pleased to know that you liked Neuquen. However, you should have visited some southern villages of the province which are filled with fantastic landscapes -really high mountains and crystal water lakes-. I hope we keep in touch. Agustin (or simply Austin!)
