Stage One Complete

We made it. After 31 hours of flights and waiting around, we are in our budget hotel in Buenos Aires. We are both shattered. The interesting thing is that because we crossed the International Date Line, it is 4:20pm on Sunday 17th. We left Sydney at lunchtime on Sunday the 17th, so we landed in Santiago after a 12 hr flight 2 hours before we left Sydney.
The flight from Sydney to Santiago was 12 hours. I don't want to do it again. Very bumpy, and the person in front of me had their seat back in my face all the way. All three flights were full. Finding space for our cabin bags was fun. It seems to be old-fashioned to have only one.
Got a window seat from Santiago to Buenos Aires. That's the best leg. Crossed the Andes and then the dead flat of western Argentina.Meer informatie
