			<![CDATA[Hola from Chile! 
Free internet access and insomnia means I have started updating blogs and photos (but you've probably already seen them on facebook). 
Only just arrived today and spent the first few hours snoozing (hence the insomnia now!) so nothing to say so far about Chile.  I was a brave girl on the flight...forgot to be scared during some of the bumpy bits!
lots of love
