Santiago de Chile

In Santiago de Chile we had the pleasure to meet Reto, a friend of Chrigi from work. He already lives one year abroad as a german teacher and he invited us to stay in his flat. He and his lovely german girlfriend Anni created a to-do-booklet for us, which was a great idea! Like this we got to see lot of places and tasted lots of typical food & drinks.

Mission (nearly) accomplished:
