Santiago Layover

The one certainty with travel is that every airport looks identical and demands extortionate prices on everything. NZ $3.50 for a small bottle of water!

Flew over Santiago. Very dry and mountanous. Looks like Greece minus the olives.

Met Carlos on the plane. From Argentina and works at the Spanish Embassey in Wellington. A big Boca fan (Argentina's biggest football club). Proudly reminded him the nix beat them 2-1 in a friendly 5 years ago. He shot back asking how our world cup qualification was going. Touche.

Very tired now - have not slept for 20 straight hours. Flying out 11pm local.
