Ok, so back in the land of the walking again, and in our final destination in South America, Santiago! After yet another session of cheese and ham sandwichs to indulge in on the bus journey, we safetly arrived in theis scorching city. As soon as we got here we disappeared to Valpariso, on the coast, for some beach action! Called the 'Little Venice' od Chile, i was curious about it.. . . . .

Ok, so most of you heard how the ice trekking went. Something along the lines of. . . . . 12hr trek, 6hr to get to glacier and trek on it, absolutely amazing, such an experience.
