I made it down for the free breakfast at the usual time of 10.55am just before the kitchen shuts. I had to move to Ben's dorm because a group of French people are taking over my dorm. The new dorm really stank! I was in a goslow mode and took ages to finally get ready. Me and Ben walked to La Casa Roja to find my watch but it wasn' there. We then walked through the dodgy area north of Barrio Brasil. We decided to walk to the General Cemetery as it's meant t...

Me and Ben walked around the city today and visited all the sights I'd already seen. We walked up the hills which were really busy because it's Easter. We walked into the Bellavista area and sat in a restaurant drinking Schiop beer and eating Lomo (beef sandwich). We walked into the city centre and went to a supermarket. We then watched Dawn of the Dead in the tv lounge. We were supposed to watch a Colo Colo match tonight but getting to the stadium was expensive ...

I just said thanks and got off at my stop. The bus station was really busy and disorientating..yeah we got lost and couldn't find each other. I found the righ office and bought my ticket. However there is no direct servic...

We got up early as usual and set off for Saltos del Lajo waterfall. Bridget's lasagne had an effect on everyone's stomach and so we had to stop at a nearby service station. There was queueing at the toilet, thanks Bridget. It wasn't pretty. We eventually reached the waterfall which was nice but when you've been to Niagara Falls it's not so spell-binding. Nick urged me to run with him into the spray and I did for some reason; completely soaking myself. ...
