Santiago Take 1! After an interesting coach journey from Argentina literally through the Andes Mountains at the half way point we reached the Chilian border. We found it quite amusing, they line you all up at the border with your bags in front of you as if you are part of a mass execution! Anyway, we arrived at our hostel, a huge old palace/mansion which has been converted into a heaven for backpackers..... swimming pool, pool bar and another bar open until 4am! Most the people there never leave the actual hostel! Santiago has the BEST metro system ever, so safe and whilst standing on the platforms you watch cable tv on the huge plasma screens....puts London to shame big time. We went to a couple of museums, and would have learnt a lot about the history of Santiago if it wasnt (and obviously!) all written in spanish!! The city has a modern western feel to it, MacDonalds, Pizzahut etc mixed with historic cathedrals. Now Rio has its famous statue of christ overlooking the city, Santiago clearly a little jealous of it made a mini version on the highest hill they have! Still pretty spectacular. We spent 3days enjoying yet another new home and kept hearing about Valparaiso the people of Santiagos version of Brighton about an hour and a half coach ride away and also the home to the famous poet Pablo Neruda (oh how cultured and knowledgeable we have become ;-) !!) so off we set... on another coach!
Santiago, hlavni mesto Chile! Lezi na okraji pohori Andy, takze i ze samotneho centra je nadherny pohled na zasnezene hory. Jako spravni turisti jsme zbehli hned do nekolika musei a take do krasne katedraly (jedna z nejvetsich a nejzajimavejsich jakou jsme zatim videli). Take bylo zajimave videt kontrast mezi historickymi budovami a modernimi novostavby v centru mesta. Prekvapujici bylo moderni a velmi ciste metro, a vubec cely dopravni system je na skvele urovni. Santiago je okouzlujici mesto, a rozhodne jedna z nasich oblibenych zastavek!
