Day 34-36 – 29-31 January 2013. Buenos Aires, Santiago, Auckland, Melbourne, HOME!

Packed up, went downstairs for breaky, then back upstairs to finally zip things up, before changing a little more cash and now sitting downstairs at Querido awaiting the airport transfer.

I’m hoping there is NOTHING to report on the trip home and that all flights are on schedule etc.

Querido has been lovely.

Some interesting sights on way to aeropuerto – quite a drive and reached speeds of 130kms, haven’t done that for a very long time.

Plane was 10 minutes late, then we waited at gate for 20 minutes or so due to air traffic somewhere. All in all a good flight to Santiago, I had an aisle, but the views flying over the Andes were stunning. Some were snow/ice capped, while other parts were barren desert.

Now to kill 6 hours waiting at Santiago airport…just charging computer, then I will try and find a wi-fi zone to finish the blog…with these last three days (cos I lose a day in time zones) will be a work in progress.

Horse and cart working in Buenos Aires this morning.

A mural on a corner.

 

FLYING OVER THE ANDES - HAD TO ASK MY MATE ON THE WINDOW TO TAKE THESE.

 ...finally after a trouble free journey home, the first sight of HOME, flying in over the Victorian East coast.

Poor photo I know, but this was the first view of the Coast.

and very soon thereafter, there was Lakes Entrance...I think.

 

Soon after arriving home, a visit from Sue with a lovely "Welcome Home" gift.

 

There in lies the end of this blog. Eleven thousand two hundred and eight photos taken, many, many memories...and I'd turn around and do it all again in a heartbeat.
