all safe and sound this end. we are currently sitting in Santiago Airport awaiting our last flight out to Lima later today. 8PM local time, 10AM WST AUST. well this may be a third world country but DAMN! weve got free wireless access here @ the airport so we are set. Weather is fine and cool outside.
well the journey so far has been exhausting. losing count of the planes we have caught and the days along the way, and we havent even started in Peru. Qantas flight was so so. someone thought it was fine to leave the aircon on. Dad would have been fine, i froze. then boarding LAN airlines, we switched to middle seats. but no people next to us so things have been great. onboard video screens and movies, south american flight attendents are easy on the eye :) 3 flights down 1 to go. we even stopped in NZ.
sleepings been horrible but eh, thats what ya get. i find the biggest problem is my knees, feel old and cramped lol. be good to get into a hotel. foods also been ok on the flights. fish and veg / omeletes / sandwiches etc.
so apart from being very tired and eager to hit a hotel all is good.
pics below of some happy snaps. Qantas shots are from SYD. LAN airlines and airport shots are from Santiago, Chili.
now to find cheech. oh BTW, ive already blown $100 AUS lol, you know my account details for deposits dont u Mom ? :)
PS. pics are rough snaps on the road. no editing comments, yes that means you Dad :)
