A Chunk of Chile with a Dash of South America

Living and travelling in South America from our base in Chile since 1997. I have personally experienced the extremes here, living in a shed without a bathroom in a poor dangerous part of town to the other extreme of having an elegant dinner with the President at the palace. This blog is about things that I have done or that have caught my attention here as well as travel information that may be useful.

Ritz Ball - Santiago 2010

Ritz Ball Flyer 2010 Santiago Chile

There is a black tie charity ball coming up at the end of the month and having been to many other ones organised by the Australian Embassy, they are a load of fun. Seriously you have a ball! (...and it's not just because I won the return flight to Australia two years running! - Yes, certain diplomats still groan about that - you know who you are!)
