Arrival in Santiago De Chile
Phew, what a long trip and we are still not at our destination. We have a 5 hour lay over before we catch flight to Arica in northern Chile. So far everything is running smoothly including Eugenio's bike(I would like to give it a name) which is still in one piece. People are really pleasant and co-operative even though there is a language problem at times. No cars at hire companies because of the mine rescue, hopefully we will strike it lucky in Arica. Two beers in Buenos Aires cost nearly R100 and tasted terrible probably because of the price. Santiago seems more reasonable though. Flying in over Andes was breathtaking to say the least as I have never seen a mountain so close while flying. I'm getting worried for Eugene's sake, but mechanoman says "no worries, my pants have already chafed through just thinking about it". Well here is hoping we get some sleep on the next flight!!!!
