It's a shame that we are only seeing Santiago in Chile but given our limited time in South America we didn't have any other option. To be honest there really isn't that much to do in Santiago and after seeing the most part of the city in a day we were stuck for things to do. So we opted for a wine tasting tour. This was a really good day out! Not only because we got to taste the wine (although this was the main reason) but was good to learn about the history of...

All of which were definitely very good. However going out drinking on antibiotics is not always the most sensible idea but being me couldn't resist a night out and managed to stay out til 8.00am back to the hostel just in time for breakfast and it was most definitely worth it e...

After we had recovered slightly we headed from the town we were stayin in called Barranco just outside of Lima. We talk a walk along the coast to the next town along Miraflores which is closer to lima city centre. The coast was amazing the beaches were nice ands the water looke...
