Sorry for the lack of photos, it is pretty tricky to find a place to upload them. Anyways...We went to Santiago for a few days after Mendoza which was great. The 6 hour bus drive through the Andes was incredible and I was glued to the window the entire time taking photos! In Santiago we met up with Will´s sister who is living there and had a fiesta at her house and met some locals which was great. We explored for the next few days. Santiago is a really cool place surrounded by mountains. We got a cable car to a mountain in the middle of the city which gave us amazing views over everything. The Chilean accent is pretty different to the Argentinian one though so my Spanish is not great at the mo...but I´m trying to meet local people and practice, they´re all very patient! We then went to to Valparaiso, a really quirky and eccentric town built up the hills surrounding a port. It was great to explore this crazy place but unfortuneately the weather wasn´t great (for the first time on my trip!) so we couldn´t go to the beach. We are now off on a big bus trip up to Tucuman (northen argentina) and into Salta for my birthday! Can´t really complain! I am loving the spontaneity of backpacking and now knowing where to go next. Carrying everything in my backpack is so much fun, if not a little heavy! The four of us are getting on so well and it will be sad when Emilie and Will have to go (they are meeting Emilie´s parents down south) but I am sure I will meet lots more people.
Overall having a fantastic time and couldn´t ask for anything more! Hope everyone is well at home, I think about you all lots and wish you were here to see all the incredible things that I am seeing! Can´t wait to tell you all about it when I come home.
Happy Easter!! xxxxxxx
