Friday 3rd Dec.
| Had a chinese meal last night & just as I was about to leave 3 studenty types came in,2 guys & a girl, sat at my table and began to use me to practice their english, they told me how poor they were & it was the girls birthday, and somehow I ended up paying for their meal. Which cost me with the beer over 15 quid, I must be daft,
Today I made my way down the main drag in Santiago, which is called Ave.Liberator Bernard O´Higgins. A sort of 19th century Che Gevarre* but more successfull,(in future a * means an incorrect spelling of which I am aware, but do not know the correct spelling).. anyway..I was walking down the main drag, like Argyll St for instance, when I saw a shop the like of which I have never seen before! I stopped in amazement to look in the window, which contained nothing but ..............door knobs, of every shape & made of every known door knob material, I was mesmerised!! I eventually moved on, making no purchase incidently, unlike Bid who would likely have bought a couple of pairs. I went to the bus station & bought a ticket to Mendoza 8GBP & it leaves Sat at 8am. Wandered round Santiago taking in the sights before buying a new hat, very Indigo Jones & it suits me perfectly. Hope all are well & another update tomorrow Best of luck on your holiday tomorrow Cameron. |

Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, lies in the Andes of western Argentina, on the border with Chile. The gently sloping northern and western faces of this extinct volcano are covered with crumbling rock, whereas the southern face is a steep wall of rock and ice more than 2,400 metres (8,000 feet) high.
Mount Aconcagua is considered a difficult climb because of its unpredictable weather, with temperatures often as low as -25°C (-13°F), accompanied by fierce winds.
Sam , I looked up encarta to see exactly where you were going and reckon you are going to need slightly more than an Indiana Jones hat to keep you warm. Joe
