Adios Argentina, Adios Chile

After 4 great days in Mendoza, Argentina we crossed the cordillera de los andes into Santiago, Chile. Because of the overnight bus ride (where we were violenty awoken to cross the border, placed in a room and cross examined about whether we had fruits, meat or leather in our bags by the Chilean police...) we were tired and needed to gt some rest before our flight to Brazil the next day.

After sleeping on the floor of the bus terminal from 6am to 8am, we took off on foot to look for a place to stay. Because of a herbalife conference all the hospedajes and hotels were full and eventually we got in a cab to drive around looking. The mistake was to ask the cab driver where he thought we should stay (for cheap of course) and we ended up at a hooker hotel, complete with curtains to cover your car with and mirrors on the ceiling. We decided not to stay there. Eventually we found a great place in the center and had a blissful rest.

At 5:30 the next morning we were in a cab with smiles on our faces, next stop Brazil.
