Hola from Chile!

I have arrived in Chile! It was a 9.5hr flight leaving Auckland at 6pm, landing in Santiago at 12pm the same day, so Wednesday 1st of April has been an extremely long day! We said goodbye to all our kiwi bus friends at the airport as a lot of us were all leaving at the same time, one girl was actually on our flight to Santiago! We are booked into a very homely hostel, we are up chatting to the owners and watching tv as they test us on our spanish, it seems like we should get by fine with our limited vocabulary! We all fell asleep as soon as we arrived and woke up in time to watch the rest of the Chile v Uraguay football game, was a 0-0 draw though so not too exciting. We also sampled a Chilean hotdog smoothered in guacamole, very tasty and cheap! The currency is taking a bit of getting used to as 1pound gets us 800 chilean peso. We are going to stay here for a few days while we work out our route up to Peru.

    Hi, time-travellers!

    Glad you've both arrived safely.

    Shadowdog (your travelbug) has been at Heathrow Airport for a few days. It has now been picked up by a geocacher who is active in several countries - but mostly eastern Europe. Someone else caught a glimpse of it and left an appreciative comment. I wonder where it will go next?

    Well... on with the adventure!

    Love, Mum and Dad.
