Mini-Sven in Santiago

Posted 1st February 2012
Santiago, Chile: Distance Travelled = 157,662 miles

Hello!
We had a great time skiing and we're now back out of the mountains and have made it to Santiago. Santiago is the capital city of Chile, is also known as Santiago de Chile and was founded by the Spanish Conquistador Pedro de Valdiva in 1541. The local indigenous people didn't really like this and a three year war was waged to try and destroy Santiago. It's a lovely city and we saw lots of sites including the culture house and a big pot thing. More soon!
lots of love

Mini-Sven in Valparaiso

Posted 1st February 2012
Valparaiso, Chile: Distance Travelled = 157,726 miles

Hello!
We've headed out to the coast and gone to Valparaiso and Vina del mar. The beaches were amazing. This is one of the most popular tourist places for visitors to Chile. In fact, the beach is calling, so I need to blog and run! Then we're off to a new country. :)
lots of love
