Upon our arrival in San Pedro we immediately made our way to the nearest restaurant and wolfed down 2 man-sized pizzas. We then checked in to our b&b on the outskirts of town, a whole 10mins walk from the centre. The b&b was very homely with its adobe walls and limited electricity and running water. Our first morning there was a Sunday and it turns out that the people in charge of San Pedro don't think anyone gets out of bed until 9am as thats when the electricity comes on. Being such an early riser I had to shower in torch [View Full Entry]

I’m sorry that it’s been so long since I updated. I can’t even remember the last thing I said. I’ve been busy, but you probably wouldn’t know it based on what I recount here. Keep in mind that the average commute to any given place is between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on time of day and how I combine Micro (buses) and Metro (subway). And I’ve also had homework this last week, which has not been a regular thing throughout the session, thank goodness. I have a final tomorrow at 3 and a paper and final on Thursday. After that, [View Full Entry]

We made it! De afmattende 24-uur durende busreis naar Chili´s hoofdstad Santiago, waar we beide al weken tegen opzien, hebben we overleefd. Woehoe! En dat alles dankzij de twee ongelofelijk relaxte stoelen (we hadden VIP-tickets geboekt) en de voltallige verzameling illegale dvd´s van de buschauffeur. Het hoogtepunt waren uiteraard de films die meneer de chauffeur van de week zelf nog met zn handycam in de bios van het grote scherm had overgenomen. Want god, het beeld stond dan een beetje scheef, en je hoorde het hele bioscooppubliek erdoorheen giechelen, we waren wel de eersten in Chili die Kung Fu Panda buiten [View Full Entry]

From Ecuadors steaming warmth to the cool desserts of Chile the climate change has been a little of a shock....uuuahhh the cold is something we will have to get used to i suppose.. Chile i always thought would be a little green on the coast yet there is sand sand and more sand...the biggest dunes we've ever seen stretching for 250km or forever... We Found ourselves in a real Oasis in the south coast of peru.... like something from a tintin comic...oh and got to hold a real megladon tooth...like bigger than my entire hand.... the dunes are subject to an [View Full Entry]

Day two in Chile we took the bus to Valparaiso on the coast. First we took the very efficient metro to the bus station where we sort of took the wrong exit and I may have jumped over a ticket barrier. We left Santiago in fine weather and arrived in Valparaiso to find it covered in a lovely Scottish harr. Not the best weather to appreciate the pretty coastal town in. We wandered along the main street and then took one of the many ancient ascensors to the upper part of the town. There were balamory coloured buildings clinging on to [View Full Entry]

What's the story in....
Rusty old car

We planned to leave Santiago on day 3 and head North to San Pedro but we didn't book our bus in time and ended up having to stay an extra night and take the night bus the following day. Making the most of our extra time in the region we tagged along with Alex from the hostel to a vinyard on the outskirts of the city, we learned about the different grapes, the fermentation process, the ageing and finally and most importantly got to taste a few of the wines. Alex works for Majestic and so knew a fair amount about [View Full Entry]

Argentina in the distance

Nelson und ich wanderten am Donnerstag zu den Felszeichnung aus der Zeit der Inka. War echt sehr schoen. Nur auch sehr anstrengend, es ist wirklich unglaublich wie sehr einem die Hoehe anstrengt. Die Wanderung dauerte ca. fuenf Stunden und wir nutzten natuerlich die Zeit gleich um unsere Sprachkenntnisse zu verbessern. Nach ca. fast einer Woche kann ich sagen das ich die Leute besser verstehe. Sprechen funktioniert auch schon besser, nur da muss ich trotzdem noch fleissig lernen. Aber naja wie sagt man so schoen: Uebung macht den Meister! [View Full Entry]

Howdy, Went to Chillan last week...bit of a disappointment to be honest, but purely down to the snow conditions, not the actual resort (which was muy bonita) I left El Colorado on Saturday (while it was heavily snowing here) and stayed the night in Santiago. The guy that i got a lift with lives in the hills and the building had an outdoor hot tub! So some friends came round and we chilled there looking over night time in Santiago. Pretty awesome, lucky bugger. Headed to Chillan on Sunday and found a Cabin for a tenner each per night. It was [View Full Entry]

Haette ich gewusst das sie ein so Art Harz absondern, haette ich mich nie drauf gesetzt!
Am Montag war es dann mal so weit - entlich habe ich etwas von der Gegend hier gesehen! Kurz nach Putre fängt der unglaublich schöne Nationalpark Parque Lauca an. Die Landschaft aus kargen Bergen mit schneebedeckten Spitzen, Seen und winzig kleinen Bergdörfern ist unbeschreiblich. In einem kleinen Dorf (Paranicota) steht eine sehr nette kleine Kirche. Dort habe ich natuerlich auch gleich einen Cocatee kosten muessen. Schmeckt echt gut und soll angeblich gut gegen die Hoehenkrankheit helfen. Zum trinken ist er echt gut nur die Cocanblaetter die man einspeicheln soll fuer ca. 45 min waren echt wiederlich. Nach fuenf Minuten hielt ich [View Full Entry]

Am Samstag am Abend war es dann soweit ein grosses Fest. Auf der einen Seite das Abschiedsfest fuer Cindy und Timo, auf der anderen Seite ein Willkommensfest fuer mich. Es war echt sehr nett. Ich hoffe ich kann mich an alle Namen noch richtig erinnnern :-) Leider habe ich nicht von allen ein Foto gemacht, war einfach zu viel los. Stelle hier aber mal einige Leute bzw. die wichtigsten rein. Nelson und Romina, die Nachfolger von Cindy & Timo waren auch da. Wer es noch nicht weiss, Cindy und Timo haben gekundigt. Sie sind jetzt noch ca. eine Woche da. Sie [View Full Entry]
