Well, if you get my train of thought then you would have taken advantage of the tango promotion on at Paris airport yesterday too!
You know when you have a bottle of water on the plane with you and when you take off it gets all distorted or when you open a tube of cream and it pours out?
Well, 4 cans later at the airport (my logic is based around the fact that I need to hydrate before getting on a long haul flight) and I'm feeling quite hyper from all the sugar, within a couple of hours of being on the plane I have really bad tummy ache and my trousers are feeling pretty tight, Jo looks down and a look of pure horror spreads across her face .. I follow her stare, OMG.. Ha! Unbelievable I have inflated so much I now resemble Violet from willy wonka (who inflates onto a giant blueberry remember?). Try sitting on a plane for 15hours like this..
Mmm anyway, we are in Santiago now, it is VERY hot, Jo slept for a massive 9 hours on the plane (I think the sleeping tablets I fed her worked! Tee hee - though infact I shot myself in the foot because
that's a VERY long time to not have anyone to talk to/play with) so she is feeling good - walked for ages (sweated prefusely) found a starbucks and if you have never had it chai tea frappacino is AMAZING !
Going investigating properly tomorrow so will report back then - one thing I will say however is that they don't seem to have a 'sign' for Chilean pesos so they use $ which is fine but when U.S.$ are widely accepted as much as pesos it kinda freaks you out when something as simple as a bus ticket is $18,000.. Get your head round that.. Plus 670 pesos to the £1- so most people have a few hundred thousand in the bank, a ton is a coin and a monkey doesn't even buy you a diet coke..
Oh and try typing on a keyboard like this... Spot the difference?
