After my mammouth 28 hours bus journey from Colombia over the boarder to Quito in Ecuaor, I have decided to treat myself to a flight down to Chile.

I arrived at 3am (yuk!) and have spent the last 2 days chilling and snozzing interspursed with the odd mouch around Santy.

This time round Santiago is soooo much nicer than when I was here last, spring is so its way, and this time round I can actually see the Andes surrounding the city (last time all I could see was smog!) they are beautiful.

Yesterday made a day trip out to the seaside!! to Valparaiso (one day I WILL get all my piccies loaded) the place was OK, but I am wonderig if I am becomin all a bitt blazze about places!! the place is essentially a port set in hill, all the buildings are painted crazee colours and there are funicular railways al over teh place and for teh wopping charge of 10p you can ride them all!!!!

Feeling a bit rough today as the hostel ran a wine tasting event last night

I am now just getting myself geared up for my next stop - NEW ZEALAND!!!!!!
