11th Of February
We got on the plane at 16.00pm on the 11th in New Zealand, after 11 hours we land in Santiago, on the 11th at 12.30pm! Wicked!!

Thank god!! We arrived alive in Santiago. It was an aweful flight! As always when i'm on a plane and it's bumpy i start believin in god and i always promise god that if i survive this trip I'll never ever get on a plane again. So i was sitting there breathing heavily, trying to figure out how the hell i'm going to get back home without taking a flight!! I could either travel up South America, up Mexico then the states and finally Canada, take a ferry over to Greenland, travel to the other side of Greenland, then another ferry to Iceland, and then another ferry to Ireland. OR I could travel to the very tip of Brazils east coast and take a ferry to Africa and travel up Africa to Morocco and then a ferry over to spain and then travel up europe to Sweden. This kind of made me realise that it might be a bigger chance of me dying traveling through Africa or surviving a freezing cold ferry ride from Canada to Greenland. I think my best bet is to buy some sleeping tablets for my next trip from Rio to London!




Only a few minutes in the airport and they're already trying to rip us off! $11 each to get in to the city! If we weren't that tired and jet lagged we would have made our own way ourselves, but the easiest way was the way to go for us.
We arrived at our hostel, La Chimba which is a really nice place. Went out for luch, very deep fried chicken and fries. Our bodies just couldn't function anymore so we decided that bedtime was a good idea even though it was 16.00. we slept until 8 o'clock, was up for another few hours and went to bed again at 12am.
