Yes we did spend some time in NZ (eleven weeks to be precise) and details of out fantastic time will appear here shortly. Yeah, we decided that this blog needed to be more like a blog so are doing an entry for Santiago whilst here....as opposed to 2 months later !! The flight from Auckland was no fun, no fun at all, it was held up for 4 hours or so and we were in the air for 12 hours. But hey, that's all in the past now and we're here in sunny Santiago. We are staying in a pretty crazy hostel called La Casa Roja, a huge 18th Century mansion home to hundreds of other travelers. We have been here for a couple of nights and have spent both of them at the hostel bar. Last night we were gonna go out to a jazz bar with TJ, the crazy American guy we have met, and Nicky from Germany (who amazingly has never met another Nicky before) but we ended up staying at the hostel and drinking with other guests until about 3 in the morning....needless to say, we felt pretty good this morning. Tonight is our last night in Santiago, tomorrow we're heading to the coast to a place called Valparaiso with the aforementioned friends.....should be good...
Keep it up you guys, sounds FANTASTIC!
