After three flights and a minor panic attack about the hotel booking, we finally made it to Santiago. We wandered round the streets of Santiago for a couple of days before heading off to Los Penitentes in Argentina for a spot of skiing. Santiago was a strange place and not one we would return to. I thought it would have been much more "glossy", particularly since we were staying in the nice part of town. Instead it was very rough around the edges with lots of street sellers and a heck of a lot of building work. We left on the Saturday and Santiago served it´s purpose which was to help us acclimatise. The Andes here we come!Sorry no pictures at the moment as the first idiotic thing we did was forget the recharger. We spent an afternoon going round electronic shops to find a replacement, but unfortunately Hewlett Packard cameras are not popular in South America. I wonder why... One point each!
