Having
left Sydney at approximately 1:00pm yesterday (Friday), we arrived
here in Santiago today (Friday) at approximately 11:00am this morning
after a very comfortable flight.
The
good news is that our luggage caught up with us and arrived in
Santiago on the same plane.
Santiago
is a city of contrasts We passed extensive shanty towns on the way
into the city from the airport but where we are staying is very much
a modern, comfortable and safe city with the occasional old decrepit
building among the skyscrapers. This afternoon was spent walking
round the city in the general vicinity of the hotel. We will be
spending several nights here at the end of the trip so will see more
of the city then.
Tomorrow
we go to Iguassu via Sao Paulo to see some falls which are allegedly
much bigger than Niagara falls. They should be impressive. From there
we go to Buenos Aires to join the Antarctic expedition.
