Dem Andes

---

Only three hours to fly down the coast to Santiago. Looking out over the Andrs was amazing. So vast and intricate, mostly sand and pale orange rocks, looking like a mottled and crumpled bedspread, with the ocassional snow covered peak rising above its neighbours. Little sign of habitation, it makes the Lake District look like the landscape of a model train set.
Santiago airport is small in terms of only one terminal, but it packs a shopping punch.
The kids had a home schooling lesson on Easter Island, which lies some 2000 miles off the coast of Chile.
Because of the time zone changes, we leave being 3 hours behind the UK and arrive 13 hours ahead. How's the body clock supposed to know what's going on?
