Last day in Santiago before heading south

Last day in Santiago before heading south

Santiago, Chile, South America I had a good last day in Santiago today. It started with a pretty quiet morning at the hostel. They actually brought me breakfast in my room, which I have never had before. It wasn’t much. Just a ham and cheese sandwich on typical Chilean bread, with juice, a banana, and a breakfast bar. I’m very impressed with this hostel though. It’s been really nice, and the owner Mario has been awesome. I checked out around…

Quiet day in Santiago

Quiet day in Santiago

Santiago, Chile, South America Today was a very quiet day, getting used to being on my own again. I woke up at the Ibis and went down to have breakfast. I’ve been traveling alone for almost eight months now, so you’d think I’d be used to having breakfast by myself, but it seemed really strange. In just a few days I got really used to sharing breakfast with Melissa, so now I have to get used to having it on…

Santiago, Chile, South America Today was Melissa’s last day here in Chile, so we made sure to really enjoy ourselves. We had a nice relaxed morning at the hotel.

Santiago, Chile, South America We got up really early this morning, and headed out to the bus station for 7am. We didn’t have time to get breakfast at the hotel, so we ended up just grabbing a couple of ham and cheese rolls at the bus terminal to have on the bus. It was only about an hour and a half, but it was a really nice ride. We came into Olmue at this point where all you could see…

Day to explore Santiago by foot

Santiago, Chile, South America We had another great day today, even though it didn’t quite go according to the plan. By the plan, I mean the calendar of possible things that we could do, that Melissa put together in the last few weeks. She had things planned for every day we are here, and today we were supposed to go to a national park to visit the hot springs, and then maybe hike around. We found out this morning that…

First day in Santiago with Melissa

First day in Santiago with Melissa

Santiago, Chile, South America I had an awesome first day with Melissa in Santiago today! I was able to sleep for almost the entire flight from Easter Island, which really impressed me. I got into Santiago a little after 5am, and got my bag without a problem. Melissa’s flight was supposed to arrive at 6:18am, but it was delayed about 25 minutes. I had plenty of time to find the international arrivals area and was waiting for her when she…

Bus ride to Santiago

Bus ride to Santiago

Santiago, Chile, South America I had a pretty decent sleep last night, so I felt good this morning. I had a good breakfast at the hostel, and headed off at 9am to the bus terminal. I really enjoyed my stay at Hostal El Arbol. It was like staying at a grandma’s house. The owner was so friendly and took care of all of us so well. It was really nice. I got my bus at 10am, and it was really…
