Michael, Pepe and Liv

Santiago Metro

I hadn't seen a skyscrapper in a very long time! I was quite in awe at the size of it!

Same with the snazzy lift, which you press the floor number on the outside and it takes you straight up! We don't even have that in London!

There's also Maipu in Santiago! It cracked me up! Michael on the other hand thought I was very silly!

Santiago Cathedral

Palacio de la Moneda

We went to the Supermercado!


Outdoor church at the top of Cerro San Cristobal

Virgen

Panoramic of Santiago from Cerro San Cristobal

Cooking lasagna in Santiago

Pucon

Oh look! There's a bridge over the puddle!

In case the volcano erupts, RUN this way!!!!

Lago Villarrica and Volcan Villarrica

Smoking Volcan Villarrica

Church in Pucon

At the base of the volcano

Kitted out with my ice pic, crampons and helmet (in case rocks fall from above! No seriously they do!)

It looks so close! But it's NOT!

Pit stop and the amazing view!

It's a long (and steep) way down!

The crater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inside the crater!! Sadly, no lava!

Group photo at the summit!

Our dingy hostel in Puerto Montt!

  2. Santiago seems to be a lovely place and the metro is very modern and clean.
    Liv looks like she is jealous of Pepe!
    ...And don't go to the plaza de Maipu...it stinks!!

    Pucon is so pretty and the volcano Villarica simply amazing.
