What a dodgy country!! Eager for an extra stamp on our passports we crossed the border today. Three countries in 40 minutes, quite a feat we think :) We were also on the hunt for bargain merchandise, namely a new camera to replace nics 18th century one. The mystery of this strange country was enhanced by the onslaught of tropical rain (which was nicely combined with sewage on the streets!) There was not a single other foreign face to be seen as we trawled the s...

In sunny Santiago now. Gorgeous city. Very hot. The hostel is lovely and clean, overlooking the main square - 'plaza de Armas'. The hostel is very quiet though. People seem to just be killing time here before their next flight. Have been told that there isnt an awful lot to do in Santiago. We only have 1 day anyway. Very tired again! Sharing our dorm with yet another lone German guy. He is very pleasant but like the last one, very comfortable with himself...

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous. Our stay here has focused on Eva Peron, with us both being Evi...

We arrived at our hostel after a mega long bus journey – the most uncomfortable yet… which is saying a lot considering the people in South America have a tendency to drive like lunatics anyway! We had to stop off at the border to get our passports stamped and for a few horrible minutes we thought we would have to pay a huuuuge fine because we couldn’t find our entry cards…Anna's face was a picture! lol. We loved it from the second...

After an extremely long bus journey we have finally landed in Florianopolis - (bit of a gob full!) Also known as Floripa to the locals, which is a handy term for us Spanglish! Really relaxed here. It's where a lot of Brazilians come on holiday. There are loads and loads of long white sandy beaches. A lot of them are virtually deserted despite it being summer holidays for the Brazilians. I think most have now gone back to the cities for carnival. We have seen...
