Hola everyone! Well this is our last update from South America - tonight we fly off to Sydney and say farewell to the continent that has been home for the last 11 weeks. After Pucon we returned to Santiago and spent a couple of days here, checking out the city, enjoying the rose, and visiting a beautiful, small little vineyard called Vina Aquitania - pictures show the highlights.
