Hola from Santiago

From Peru - 2009

It certainly is a long haul across the Pacific. Lex is still suffering quite badly with his cold - despite the cocktail of drugs. We hit some turbulence midway - nothing serious, but enough to upset my stomach.

Santiago is clouded in smog so we can't see a lot from here, but the view of the snow capped mountains from above the smog was spectacular. An added bonus is that we have wifi access here in the airport - woohoo. That's a nice change from last ttime we were here when I spent some hours in the internet cafe.

Not much has changed with flights since we travelled 2 years ago - same airline food (same omelette / marmalade fro breakfast) and sadly the same feeling of inadequacies with Spanish language despite our endeavours. Lex just bought a coke (yes they take US $) and took 4 people to work out what he wanted. Lucky we've been doing so much study!!!
