We awoke about 10 am, well rested and got ready to head out. After checking out of the hotel we caught the shuttle to the airport and had a great breakfast at a place called Le Fournil. Later we took the Centropuerto bus to the Los Heroes metro station. It took about 20 minutes and then it was short two stops on the metro to the University of Chile station which was close to our apartment. Our host said to arrive at 3 pm and it was now 2:30 pm so we waited in the lobby for a bit. Just after 3, our host, Maria came down to bring us up. She had a really lovely studio apartment that was just perfect for us! We really liked it, and I actually miss staying there, lol! We ... read more

Sarah: Another day, another journey! We were up early-ish for our "6 hour" bus trip to Santiago, Chile. After a day on the wine tour and a night in with the guys on the free wine and only cold showers in our hostel (or hot at a dribble), this was not the most welcome day of our travels. However, this is what we were here for, so travel we must! The good news was that our bus was heading over the Andes to Santiago, so we were in for some pretty spectacular scenery on the way. Between snoozes, we got some great views as we wound through the mountains and arrived at the border crossing with Chile. The bus parked up in the midst of snow covered mountains and a long queue of cars, lorries and ... read more

Geo: -33.4691, -70.642Have had a very lazy day, walking along the river with no water and back into provodencia where we found the coolest pub to chill out. Have taken loads of pics of the random roaming dogs of Santiago that I'm convinced they know when to cross these manic roads. The cats don't fair as well.now back at our hotel for the 5 hour walking tour. Ain't doing that after the 50+ kms Chris and I have done already. Saving our knees for cycling the Maipo valley wine region in the morning.have the necessary stuff packed. Band aids, sun screen, water and hay fever tablets.looking forward to it.we are chilling in the courtyard.... read more

It's called lack of flies and it's just wonderful not to be bothered by those annoying filth ridden bugs.have walked at least 20km today taking in the sights and the gorgeous weather. Plenty more dogs, in fact they are everywhere and of course great food and vino... read more
