Santiago, Chile

I finally arrived in Santiago at 01h30 my time on Tuesday morning, after leaving Big White 11am Sunday morning, and travelling pretty much constantly except for a brief visit with Grandma in Vancouver. I totalled 5 hours sleep in 48 hours, for some reason the vast selection of movies on the plane were more appealling than actually sleeping. So exhausted and sleep deprived I made my way into the city from the airport and crashed all day at the hostel in Santiago. The city is quite nice, Chile is a rather well-off SA county, and the extensive metro system makes it easy to navigate. I am off to La Serena tomorrow morning to meet up with Lydia, so I will have to explore Santiago when I return at the end of my trip to fly out. Most people here speak a bit of English so that has been nice, but I am working on acquiring some Spanish at least.
