Like a wee little crab of crabsville… Right so let’s just forget that I have completely not written anything AT ALL for Bolivia & Peru & just presume I had a fantastic time (which I did) & that I didn’t die there as previously predicted would happen. Bonus. Cuba so far it’s been interesting to say the least so I thought while I’m pretty much doing nothing with hardly any communication to the outside world, I may as well smash out another ...

Yeeeeeeaaaas…… I meet the tour group in Santiago, Chile, on 6th April, the group consisting of a really lovely bunch of girls & just two Norwegian guys. The first night we head out to dinner with the group & plan our next day in Santiago, a few of us decide we would head to Valparaiso & Vina Del Mar on the coast as we managed to blag a bargain 3rd off the cost.

What's with all the blogs Charlie Brown…..? So where did I get to? Oh yes something about enjoying Santiago then calling all South American people average, oh yes ;) So today I get up bright & early, eay myself another huge breakfast & set off for the Cuban Embassy (again). It's another ridiculously hot day & the walk there is long again, I roll up & no one speaks any English, which matched with my poor Spanish meant we got along famously (&am...
