quick thoughts on Santiago. bloody great ! we got in from Auckland round about 12PM in the arvo to the international airport, similar in size to Perth, shaped like SYD. free highspeed wireless net access and great food! I MEAN GREAT FOOD! when u've had crap meals on four flights you appreciate the little things. we had a burger and toasted cheese / ham sandwich + orange soda. what a culture shock, everyone speaks spanish and you feel like an imediate outsider. lota pointing and alot of sign language happening. we got by easy enough.
1) speak english?
2) point and name
3) US Dollar?
4) pull out $1 notes, no bigger.
easy done. i crashed later in the arvo on a couch for an hours sleep and then we boarded for Lima, 8PM arriving @ 11PM.
pics are from the front of the airport and of the local "Fanta" brand soda. nice stuff.
one thing we forgot to mention, we saw a tourist / waiting for a flight, walking round with, of all things, a kitten in the airport ! yes no worries from customs or security, he was just walking with his cat. more pics to come, but we are currently posting from our hotel room with an uber slow connection, WATCHING THE CRICKET! :) ENG vs PAK, live.
having fun, posting more soon. pics of hotel and LIMA to come. gracious
