7pm Sun 20 Apr: We're en route to Lima and are abusing the food and bar (ok, it's mainly me) in Sao Paulo airport's VIP lounge (British Airways card blag!), so I've got time to write a notebook blog about Santiago before ordering another amaretto liqueur...hic. Chile's capital seemed a bit boring when I visited three years ago, but this time, with a tip from LAN's in-flight magazine, we found hip Barrio Bellas Artes.
This triangular suburb of characterful buildings and pavement cafes is a stroll through Parque Forestal from the city centre.
Had a very pleasant (romantic even) couple of days sipping hot chocolates and admiring grand old architecture. Also hung out with Natalie from France, seen with Nati admiring 20 different fruits on offer in the pic above.
Chilled out in artists' favourite Valparaiso, a rather grubby port with hillsides full of gorgeous, pastel-coloured homes.
Right...that's enough blogging...barman! Another of those nice amaretto things...obrigado.
