Now for a summary of my time in Vina del Mar, Chile. I had a lovely time in Vina del Mar and I was sad to leave. The photo is from the day in La Campana National Park. 6th February 2012 Vina del Mar, Chile I was walking fast through Vina del Mar to the Spanish school and after crossing a road I tripped as I went back up on to the pavement.

As we were queueing my cas...

I had miscalculated the number of days I would be there for. I do remember struggling trying to work it out when I landed in ...
