Day 205: Ladies of the Flower
Santiago – Puerto Montt, Chile My bus to Puerto Montt wasn’t going to be until late in the afternoon. Technically I had time to go round town during the day. However, the thought of carrying my giant backpack around deterred me. I chose to just […]
Day 204: Y Hoy, Por Que No?
Santiago, Chile Slow relaxing day visiting a park, a coffeeshop, a library and a supermarket with Eddie. We cooked broccoli and pork for dinner. On the top floor of Eddie’s apartment is a swimming pool and an incredible view of Santiago during sunset. I spent […]
Day 203: A Weak Link
La Serena – Santiago, Chile It’s a big blur of a day. Can’t even remember what I did in the morning. But I caught an afternoon bus ride arriving at night in Santiago. Here’s a couple attempted photographs. They’re weak: Eddie from Couchsurfing was kind […]
Day 202: Lost in Kyoto
La Serena, Chile – Kyoto, Japan I got fed up with South America and made an impulsive decision to just fly straight to Japan. I flew from La Serena to Santiago then directly to Kyoto. Japan is everything I had imagined; with its Zen garden […]

Day 198: Ruta 68
Santiago – Vina del Mar, Chile Sometimes I questioned my own logic. So, the bus from Santiago to Vina del Mar only costs $8. Yet, I chose to take the metro and walk to meet up with Bruno at his CS host’s apartment. Then we […]
Day 197: Coca Cola Chicken
Santiago, Chile I woke up at 10:30 this morning. It’s probably the latest I ever woke up since I got to South America. Got my internet fix before I decided to head out. Eddie didn’t get back from his party until 5:30am so he was […]
Day 196: What’s Your Game?
Santiago, Chile Ever since I embarked on my trip this time around to South America, I hadn’t done any couchsurfing at all. Not sure why. When I logged into the Couchsurfing site a couple of days ago, I found out about a picnic that local […]
Day 207: Strangeness and Charm
Puerto Montt – Puerto Varas – Frutillar – Puerto Montt, Chile Chile can be weird. La Serena has the Japanese Garden and the Lake District has the German towns. By the way, it’s late and I’m tired so I’m gonna rush through the entry of […]
