First Few Days

Flight went better than expected no delays and actually got some sleep. Stayed in Santiago for a couple of days walking around the city the first day and then walked up a hill with the virgin Mary and a realy nice swimming pool at the top. The weather has been perfect, clear blue skies and around 25 degrees, have got a little colour in me already but maybe a bit too much on the shoulders.

This morning we got on a coach for a couple ofr hours to a city on the coast called Valparaiso (near Casablanca). Its basically a port city with a few beaches just a short drive away so the plan for tommorow is to have a beach day and try not to burn.

All in all having a great time, Chile is supposed to be the most expensive country we will visit in South America but we are only paying around 5 pounds for dinner with a beer. In the super markets its even better paying 1 pound for a litre of beer and 2 pounds for a decent litre of wine so all good.

After a couple of days here we will be heading down south to Chile´s lake district so I will get some pictures on the page soon and will do another update once in the lakes.

Hope all is well.
