It was time to go home. We did not get a good sleep because people were partying the 3 day weekend away for Semana Santa. We awoke at 3 am, got ready, and went down to the lobby for our ride. Our ride should have been there at 4 am. When 4:30 am came and he was still not there, we got ourselves a taxi. We negotiated the same price we would have paid for the other ride, so that was ok. With little traffic, we got to SCL airport quickly. We checked in for our GOL flight to Sao Paulo and went to the gate to wait. Delta has a nonstop from Santiagoto Atlanta, however, it was full in business class. Spoiled, I know. At just before 8 am, we were on GOL flight 7661, ... read more

We awoke at 9 am and had the wonderful breakfast that our Airbnb host provided. We then just sat around until about 1 pm. Our flight to Sao Paulo was not until 2:35 pm. We flew to Sao Paulo on GOL flight 1385 which was a 737-800 aircraft. I was in seat 21F and it was a routine flight. Our connection to Santiago was not until 8:50 pm so we just waited and had some dinner. The next flight was GOL 7662 which was another 737-800 and it was a smooth and routine flight of just under 4 hours. I was in seat 26F and slept mostly. We arrived into Santiago at 1:05 am and went straight to the hotel to get a good nights sleep. We were staying with someone from Airbnb, but chose to ... read more

Finally landed after a gruelling flight. Time is 4:30pm. Just need to shower and change. Need to get a bus to terminal 1 to get the hired car and game tickets. What a mission. We had to carry our heavy bags onto the shuttle and then off again. Not everyone speaks english. Lots of confusion, but got there in the end. Got the tickets for the game. Now to get from terminal 1 to Hertz car hire. After a whole lot of more confusing instruction we head to the shuttle rendezvous point. Not sure if we are in the right place because again no one speaks enough english. Finally the shuttle arrives and enough space for bags, much better. Forgot that it is Friday peak traffic. All we see ahead is the stream of brake lights ... read more

Geo: -23.4803, -46.5312 Llegamos y el clima está maravilloso, lluvia. Mas bien llovizna, y yo sin sueter. Esperamos un rato hasta que llegó el transporte del hotel. La ciudad de Guarulhos es vecina de Sao Paulo. Son como 15km al centro de Sao Paulo, asi que hoy nada más fuimos al Shopping Internacional. Aquí nos dimos cuenta de que Sao Paulo, no es especialmente barata. Como comparaciñon obligada un McTrio de Quarter cuesta el equivalente a $90 (contra $52 en MEX). Dato curioso el mall tiene un pequeño parque de diversiones adentro. Después de dar unas vuelta y comprar chuchulucos, regresamos al hotel. Leer portugués es bastante ilustrativo, se puede pescar muy bien la idea principal. Pero oir portugués es otra historia, no se entiende nada. ... read more
