My parents and sister arrived safely this morning. It meant an early start for me, but I impressed them by arriving on time and having organised transportation back to the city. This has exhausted all my organisational ability for the rest of the tour. The plus point is my dads wallet, the services of which I have already availed myself. I think it will be a different kind of travelling for the next couple of weeks tho, we are staying in a posh hotel, and tonight are off to a concert rather than my more ususal friday night effort of beer and hot dogs. In santiago for a couple of days then off to explore the atacama desert. There will be flamingoes.
