So, we got in at 3am in the morning to santiago airport, which is actually quite nice, and found noone there that knew our situation. We ended up talking to the lady incharge of lost and found, and with her broken english managed to tell us that lan customers stayed at the intercontinental.
So go to the intercontinental we did, with the airport taxi and slept a few shjort hours before getting up to breakfast. the rooms were awesome as was to be expected from a 5 star, huge king sized bed, aircom, huge tvs,hifi.. the works.
definitely recommend it to ppl going to santiago!
the city itself was quiet, but that can be partially attributed to the fat that it was a sunday, but apprently it is a more quiet city. the quality of chicks has also picked up here, but i didnt get a photo, sorry sandy, cos i didnt really have the change, only being there one day.
santiago was great, comparable to sydney in fact, with like a george st pitt street area, which we walked through. The city seemed quite safe and we climbed to several points of the city where we were able to get a nice view of teh landscape. there are very few tall buildings in santiago, and it is nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, some of which are snow capped and can be seem from teh city centre if you go high enough. it was all very nice.
after we left santiago, we arrivedin rio, where I am writing this from.
Rio has its bad rep, with the highest rate of killings in the world, we walked down to the beach yesterday, but cos it was overcast, there wasnt much "people watching" to be done..... today also looks a bit overcast unfortunately...
we will be leaving for the airport 2morrow, to begin our european adventure, south america has been an eye opener, lima and santiago has been 2 sides ofa coin, i dont think i will ever go to lima again but santiago is a maybe and rio i havent made my mind up as of yet.
in santiago and rio, i have found that girls get inked quite a bit... and in rio u can see tanlines from the string bikinis from all the girls....
anyway this is cositng me quite a bit...
Im outta here
