13 November Naar ChiliWe reizen met onze eigen bus verder en steken de grens over met Chili. Het einddoel is Torres del Pain. Het park ligt aan de andere zijde van het Andes gebergte tegenover Glacier NP in Argentinië. Doordat er geen begaanbare weg door de Andes loopt moeten wij met een grote bo…

The people were very friendly and involved us in one of their ceremonies.

My bus was due in the morning at half 10; I left early to make sure I could find the station and the bus, naturally, was late, so I spent the first hour of my day standing in the blisteringly hot desert sun. Once the bus did arrive I was pleased to discover it was quite nice, however the 12 or so p…

some day I will create a greatest hits blog, for now it is just a boring map and some photos. Check out my separate entry for the trip from La Paz to Puno though. Mexico - Peru - Chile - Bolivia

Arribamos a Santiago a las 11.30 am, aqui tenemos que esperar hasta las 15.30. La aerolinea nos dio un vale para poder almorzar, la verdad que no alcanzo para mucho pero bueno un sandwich de jamon y queso y agua mineral fueron suficientes para engañar al estomago. Sacamos un par de fotos para lle…

In the morning, I walked around downtown Santiago. It was winter, but my lasting impression was of the city being in earth tones. Everyhing seemed to be in earth tones, shades of brown.   Presidential Palace, Santa Lucia Hill, San Cristobal Hill, Prince of Wales Country Club

I'll start on jun 2008, and i would like to much know a lot people and learn about other culture

Found that there was a train line that had just been operating for about 2-3 weeks which headed north from Valparaiso so decided to take a ride to see what there was to see.  It was clean, cheap and ultra modern.   The countryside took us through mountains and many villages.  On…
