Well here we are on the last day of the Americas. We fly out at 11:00 tonight and have a 13 hour flight, landing at 4am NZ time... it's best not to think about these things!! Once we have landed we will stay in Auckland for a couple of nights and then head over to the lovely Ellie Pipe for a wee while whilst we work out our next move.
We have finally seen a bit of Santiago which has been nice, took a ride on the metro yesterday which is much easier to work out than the London underground and a lot cleaner!! We picked a place on the map (El Golf) and headed there... turned out to be a posh financial district but they had a Starbucks Yay!! Then we found a grassy area and Sam did some science fieldwork, working out how much flowing clover was in the field using an improvised quadrant! Then last night we went for food at a nice sushi place and ate our bodyweight in sushi... the people there were lovely and gave us more free sushi, free drinks and a free dessert... I think it was Sam's big brown eyes because everyone loves Sam (and giving him free desserts).
Right now Sam is doing maths in the room whilst Wigfields, Saturday Night, booms in through the windows... this hotel is VERY noisy! I'm about to jump in the shower and then we will store our bags and wander the town until 8pm when we head to the airport. Hopefully we will sleep lots on the plane so that we aren't too knackered when we arrive in NZ.
