So the longest day in the world for us just happens to fall on April Fools Day it´s quite apt that it´s today we´ve chosen to join Howard Marks and the great list of other famous smugglers!!!!!!! Yep today we got caught and fined smuggling INTO South America half a dozen sweet smelling APPLES !!…

An fantastic tour of of the country of Chile. From Santiago, it's capitol and the wineries including Concha y Toro to the coast and the beautiful cities of Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. A long flight to the south to explore the Patagonias, Torres del Paines National Park and Punta Arenas de capitol of the southern region.

From 10 December 2007 to 22 January 2008 in Argentina, Uruguay, Antarctica & Chile. 6-week trip in South-America (Patagonia & Lake District) and Antarctica.

Mi segundo viaje a Chile, esta vez volviendo a visitar Santiago y practicando esquí en las estaciones cercanas a la capital.

Easter Island is so remote, mysterious, but an air of sadness tinges the beauty and awe of the place.

Wow, de eerste dag in de vakantie dat ik voor mijn gevoel echt even heb kunnen uitslapen. Ook wel lekker! Toen ik op stond trof ik een nijvere Elianne die de was aan het doen was en zodoende continue met de lift heen en weer aan het reizen was naar en van de kelder waar de wasmachines stonden. &nb…

5 months and 5 countries... so far just a few photos with writings to come

WOW. Today we saw something truly magnificent. I wasnt going to blog again until after Punta Arenas but I had to bore you all with a million photos of ice. We had a really rough day's sailing to get to the Magellan Straight but it was worth it. Getting out of our bunks at 8am was hard (we've been w…

I Santiago moedtes jeg med en godt blandet gruppe fra England, Canada, USA og mindsandten om der ikke ogsaa var en ekstra dansker med paa holdet. Moedet var ret kaotisk, da en af dem fra USA, en fuld koreaner, raabte op det meste tiden. Det var derfor svaert at modtage nogen form for information im…

We leave vowing to come back - probably to really 'do' Argentina and Chile but who knows..As per the last blog, Santiago has been a lovely surprise ending to our time - beautiful city, friendly people, great foo…

OK, so now that I’ve done a little self-reflection, and I still have somewhere around 9hours left on a bus(a comfy one though!), I figured I’d work on writing about the rest of Chile. I believe I got through Tuesday. It’s now next Tuesday, so I’d better get to work. Last Wednesday was rathe…

Random photos from my travels.

Didn´t last long in Bolivia, I left La Paz on an overnight bus to Uyuni to start the Salt Plain tour. It was an interesting journey because the road deteriorated to a bumpy dirt tracj half way through the night and there was only one blanket per 2 seats. Mine was stolen by the guy behind me but th…

After recovering from the longest day of my life we began to explore Santiago.  On our first day in Santiago the little spanish we speak got us in a sticky situation.  We ordered tea with milk but got a cup of hot milk with a tea bag in.  The funnist cuppa I´ve ever had!! Whilst in…

After the carnage of the fancy dress, our next stop was Santiago.  The half way point of the trip and also where we said good bye to eight of the group and picked up nine new travellers.  Before the guys left we had to have one last night out on the town.  Yeap, it was a rough one. I…
