Well this has to be really quick as I'm about to ruch out and buy a fleece and rainjacket for the next leg of the trip.. I'll do a more detailed entry but in brief.. climbed a volcano, correction Ma, not climbing to see a volcano, but actually climbing to the top, ie. crater of a volcano... 1000m hike, in snow. Possibly the hardest and scariest thing I've ever done.. until childbirth possibly. But I did it and it was worth it. Now I'm in Santiago and tomorrow we leave for beach town of La Serena further north. We've had 2 nights here so far. Been walking around the city generally, and yesterday Faye and I discovered a pool in the city which was like an oasis on top of a 800m mountain in the middle of the city. So amazing, with beautiful landscaped gardens, roses, fuschias, palm trees and lawns.. with water features and an amzing big pool - really quiet and peaceful too. Have to run, Hasta Luego! xx
