so how is it? i just saw your trip and it looks like it was intresting to say the least. Im actually flying into there quite soon around new years and was wondering if you had any recommendations, dont worry im not taking the bus down, ive down that way to many times.
Lions, tigers and racoons ... oh my! Hi guys! Orange cheese, homicidal racoons and hungry cougars. I had no idea Canada was such a danderous place! Take care and keep those blogs coming! Cheers, Fitch.
Hi Guys - great to follow your journey. Parts of it seem to be in my footsteps from 20 years ago - including a visit to the mines fo Potosi - its a shame to see that nothing has changed, and the people still ahve to try and eke out a living from that toxic hill of slag.
I was very jealous to see your pics of Fitzroy, and especially a successful trip to the top of Villarica! Well done.
All the best

women are from venus the spanish word for mars is "marte", the spanish word for death is "muerte". "valle de marte" must have become "valle de la muerte". ¡cheers!
Cities Thanks for your comment. It is actually nice to know they were probably students. As a tourist, you get constantly bombarded by such things and it is very hard to figure out what is genuine and what is not and so you are always on your guard. Perhaps they are going about things the wrong way? As for Valparaiso, no doubt we were in the wrong part. We have heard lots of nice things about the place since. Its the old problem of so much to see, so little time.
wow Conditions there loook incredible, while most travelblogs and even pro photos of Villarica area lack flavor, yours are full of fall colors, puffy clouds and fresh snow. Too bad you couldnt see lava too!!! Nice work!
Nice photos! Great photos and blog guys. I am enviously sitting at my desk in foggy London town reading about your adventures. Keep them coming! Ben Fitch
the poetry of money actually you were not being scammed by the poem-wielding student. as a chilean, i can tell you these students also try to get us to give them money too, but foreign tourists are especially appetizing to starving students. this may be a "scam" but it had nothing to do with you in particular. and yeah, it sounds like you missed out on most of santiago and valparaiso. the center of valparaiso is a bit shabby (as is the whole city i suppose) but valpo's true charm lies in its hills, not the flat central city. if you were disappointed, you were in the wrong part. outside of santiago, this is my favorite city in chile (and is also the favorite of most gringo's i've met). maybe you should plan your visit better or try getting some info from the tourist office. good luck with the rest of your trip. cheers!
Gringo and Gringa!!! Thats a damned funny post - throughougly enjoyed it. Wicked photos too. Sounds like you guys have been having a coooooooool time. Keep up the blog effort!!
Love big Bro

When accountants go bush Ahh...its all clear now. Great workmanship Mike. Not many of your boardwalks are still standing. (Tho' Gerad found a few with his Leki pole). It has reverted to grand old Stewart Island sludge.
