I made it!!! After a 16.5 hours marathon journey, and a very sad farewell to my darling putriku, Ting man and my folks at Auckalnd airport on Tuesday at 4.30pm. I made it to my hotel in Santiago on Tuesday at 7pm. Am staying at the Hotel Londeres in Town on Paris Ave. This place was recommended by Amy, my big sis, whom travel through here only weeks ago. The place is allright, nothing fancy. Check into a simple room with share showers. It´s clean, has a tv and a nice double bed.
I then head out to look for food and water. I was so thirsty!!!! But the first bottle I bought was bloody gassy water! They love gassy water here so I have to be careful next time. I ate spagatti baked in a white sause for my first meal. It was yuck, but I was hungry. Maybe I need to point at other diners in the future to eat their yummy meals. heheheh Also over here you need to tip, but I haven´t got a clue on their currancy yet so am tipping way too much. I need to sort that out.
So all up it cost:
8000 Peso - Room + breakfast
9USD - Share airport taxi
3800 Pesos - Dinner
400 Pesos - Gassy water
=========
16,800 Pesos
Today I think I will walk the town and check out their museum. I hope to hook up with other backpackers too to get an idea as to recommendations and where to go next. I also plan to take it easy as I am feeling completely wasted, the time zone thing is wrecking havoc with my body.
We are like a day behind here, and at 12am NZT on Thursday it is only 8am Santiago time on Wednesday.
