Santiago
15/4/2010. Left the Melbourne airport hotel, which was very similar in size to a small wardrobe, about 5.30am. We were obviously paying for the convenience. Flew from Melbourne to Sydney and Lyn was pleased to get frisked, officially, at Sydney airport. After a short stopover in Auckland, we arrived in Santiago at 11:30am on Thursday, or 5 hours before we left New Zealand. The taxi drivers in Chile were out in force and one tried to charge us $20US to take us to our hotel, before we found out that the hotel, which is 5 minutes away, runs a free courtesy bus. The hotel here is good, with satellite tv and beer. There seems to be bit of a smog haze over the city today and it is hard to see the Santiago skyline from our fifth floor room.

so mum what were you looking so shifty about for the security to frisk you? where they good looking fellas? Hope you slept well in the small wardrobe too! And why on earth were you trying to get a cab to your hotel if it was only 5 mins away? you should have been walking shouldn't you, training for the maccu thingy??? Love Emma (I'm up late because your other daughter had a very shitty day at work and I have to pick her up)
ReplyDeleteGo to Asian countries and you can get frisked even upon entering the motels ---- oh, the joys of travel. I hope you get many opportunities to post.
