Santiago - Blogabond

After a 24 hour commute, we´ve made it to Santiago. Not much to report about the trip except that Cath was excited when we were served sausage on the plane for breakfast. The other cool thing was that they started playing dramatic Latin music on the plane speakers as we flew into and over Chile - very good to get you in the mood! Flying into Santiago with a view over the Andes was amazing and we´re a little peaved we forgot to get the camera out.

So far we´ve figured out a few things:
Water "sin gas" means non carbonated water,
A Cappuchino is a long black coffee topped with a mountain of whipped cream, and
when you see two riot police trucks with water cannons drive past, walk the other way

That´s all for now...off to see the mummies at the Natural History Museum.

Cath & Andy.

Hope you are enjoying South America (and that you are not too jetlagged....I'm absolutely buggered!!). Flying over the Andes sounds awesome - we just saw lots of yukky smog flying back in to SFO! The wedding was fantastic, beautiful setting, you both look so happy, and an absolutely great song and guitar playing from Andy! Have a great trip Mr and Mrs Collins.

Thanks for the "enjoy work" SMS on the morning of Easter Saturday - obviously you've been off work too long and had one-too-many South American beers!!!

Good work team, glad you're having fun!
