Day 9 - Santiago

We got into Santiago in the evening of Day 8 and nothing much to report. We found a cheap place to eat - sort of fast food called SchopDog and then slept. We got up on Day 9 and headed for the subway. By the way, the Sheraton sucks for free services. No free internet, not free water. ...

Day 7/8 - Self Touring Easter Island

We rented an ATV for the day to putt around the island and check out sites we missed on the full day tour. We headed up one of the 3 volcanos on the island - Rano Kau. The volcanos are where much of the island's rain water is collected. What was a little shocking to us was what they DO in...

Day 6 - Easter Island Tour

We were very happy to have joined a full day tour to learn more about the history of the island and see some sights we probably would have missed. The top knot in this photo is actually representative of the red hair of the settlers tied up in a knot. So the original polynesian settlers had...

Day 5 - Easter Island

We got in around 1pm after a 5 hour flight from Santiago. Our first Mission? Check out the Moai close to our hotel. It's hard to describe the magic of being next to these statues in the flesh (Stone). Our first Moai was in Ahu Tahai which is a fully restored Moai with the eyes still in tact...

Day 4 - Concon and Renaca (Day at the Beach)

Beach Day! We headed north up the coast to Renaca and Concon. The day was sunny and the skies were blue - normal day in Chile :) We stopped off at a spot where Pablo Naruda did some of his writing. The spot overlooked the seaside cliffs of the pacific coast with a very cool breeze passing...

Day 5 - Chilean Wines

Before we begin we forgot to post this pic. It's what I like to call "Chilean Power Bar". This is a lamp post splitting power to houses in every which direction with absolutely no plan or organization. I guess the bottom line is, everyone got their power. Plugging the laptop in to charge...

Day 4 - Valparaiso

We got up pretty late this morning and managed to make it to free breakfast before it closed. Simple stuff - eggs, toast, sausages. The plan of attack today was to head for Valparaiso (the seaside city close to our seaside town of Vina Del Mar). Valparaiso it incredibly hilly and as a...

Day 2 - Eagle has landed

Landed safely in Santiago after a pretty damn long flight. I believe Sandy was complaining that I slept soundly and without interruption. Looks like I take after dad afterall. Language barriers became an immediate problem as soon as we got off the plane and attempts at english got more and...

Christmas. Again.

So because I crossed the international date line, I had the strange experience of leaving Auckland at 5pm on Xmas Day, and arriving in Santiago at midday on Xmas Day. And it was a bit of a chalk and cheese experience. NZ - nice brunch with KP, Brad and his family; Chile - in a bedroom that...
