Punta Arenas

So it is up early for our flight to Punta Arenas. James is flying Sky Airlines & Mariana is flying LAN & we are both hoping we get on our flights without a hitch. James is a bit stressed as his line for sky airlines goes for miles and Mariana is on standby for her flight.

Still all goes well and Mariana boards her plane for a direct flight to punta arenas. Meanwhile James heads off on his indirect (cheap flight) due to arrive a few hours after Mariana´s!

The flight is amazing flying along the Andes and the weather is clear for some great photos on the way. Mariana gets there nice a quickly but little does James know that his flight is going via every airport in Chile on the way, which is very helpful as James doesn´t know that much spanish! Every time the plane lands I wondered where I was or whether I needed to get off.

Still got to Punta Arenas, which from nice tropical Santiago at 30C is about 10C! Bit of a shock! Still nice to see Mariana´s nice warm face :-)

Manage to stay in nice hostel/house (Mirador) but jetlag still with us so quick look round town then off to sleep before James collapses (no not really)!
