Valparaiso, Chile

The 24 hour bus wasn't actually too bad and we made it into Valaparaiso on time. The bus station is quite a way out of town so we all bundled into a taxi, a feat (five of us and five large bags into a normal sized car) that we were beginning to perfect by now, and made our way to a street that...

Hay alguien que hable ingles?

Looking out of the plane window at the extensive sprawl of Santiago and the rugged mountains which surround it I was already captivated. South America is one of those places that seems very familiar even though you may have never been there and I felt immediately comfortable in our new...

Black & White Town - Doves

A fairly uneventful bus journey thankfully, apart from the expected lack of sleep. We´re starting to climb now. San Pedro is at 2400m, and you can feel yourself breathing a little harder after fairly mundane activities like tying shoelaces! It´s a pretty remote town in the heart of the northern...

A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash

Hmm, not the greatest coach ride from Santiago to La Serena, Chile´s third largest city. We arrived at the coach station at Santiago about 8am, and within about 3 minutes Ash, our tour leader, had had her daypack swiped by some thieving sod. It had her laptop, camera, iPod and about US$4000, so...

Getting Away With It - Electronic

So back to Santiago where the South American adventure started. Met up with my 14 tour buddies for the next 6 weeks who seem a decent enough bunch. Slightly concerned about the Greek guy who thinks he´s too cool for school, and the young Canadian girl who he seems to have partnered up with -...

Munich - Maximo Park

Arrived in Puerto Varas a few days ago, which is just over the Andes from Bariloche, and is in Chile´s version of the Lake District. Not quite as beautiful as Bariloche, but still very nice. Did the now obligatory bike ride and also took a kayak out on one of the lakes for a day trip which was...

Day 10 - Santiago - Cerro Santa Cristobal

We spent the day touring around the lovely hill that is Santa Cristobal. This place is a little like stanley park only with many more activities for young and old alike. The hill is marked on two opposite ends by a gondola on one side and a Funicular on the other. You can pick up some tickets...
