The first song I heard in Chile was 'One' by Metallica. The lads who were checking the passports and stamping them were listening to Metallica. I was thinking "this is already the best country I've ever visited", haha!
We were freezing when we arrived in South America. It was early morning and we got a taxi through the dark, dirty and silent streets of a 5:00am Santiago. I suppose any town or city is going to be spooky and quiet at 5am and in the winter. The hostel let us sleep in a room for a few hours until check in time. Sound.
There is not much to write about Santiago. It was cold and just another city. I did like the amount of dogs around the place. It's great that stray dogs are tolerated down here! They are lying all over the place! If it was Ireland they would be put in the pound and eventually destroyed. Sly Ireland hating stray dogs.
Santiago is a smoggy city. It has a nice metro system though. The hostel was cool. They had a spaghetti night and there was a limited amount of free red wine. I availed. But there was a Scottish lad drinking everyones wine and I was way too sober for the occasion! He was a Rangers fan.
We only stayed there 2 nights and went to Valparaiso next. Another place with dogs everywhere! Great nightlife there if you go to the right part of the town. If you go to the wrong part of town, you are in the Enniskillen of Chile. We stayed one night. One LOCKED night. And there were pubs playing lots of Rammstein. Fantastico. Mendoza was the next stop. We got the bus towards there the next morning.
