After 31 hours, 2 flights and then a 1 hour bus journey we arrived in Santiago, Chile and it's 30 degree heat, so we are nearly 40 degrees warmer then Tokyo.
We arrived at the hostel at 2.30pm and checked in, tonight there is a BBQ and wine night so we signed up for that and were in the bed at 3pm, Woke up around 8:30pm and went down for a glass of wine or 3 and a huge mixed grill! It's certainly an improvement from raw tuna. We stayed in the hostel for the night as we are feckin wrecked from the flight!
February 17
Woke up at 6am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, our bodies are still in a different timezone, so we are suffering a wee bit of jetlag..We are now only 3 hours behind Ireland now. We wandered around the streets and saw a few of the sights. It's an interesting place to walk around, it's definitely through to it's Spanish roots. The afternoon it was time for the obligatory beer and then onward for some street exploring. The streets have a massive police / security presence but it's a very developed country with the best of roads, public transport. Their are street dogs everywhere, but there in a lot better condition then the SE Asian street dogs, I found my dogs twin albeit with two black eyes...Would you believe at 9pm I was passed out on the couch, we decided to hit the leaba and recover from the last 2 days.
