Auckland to Santiago

Today was amazing. We flew from Auckland to Sandiago. We were really excited and luckily Zahn and I managed to survive the long exhausting trip on the plane. We were very onto it by picking the right seats ... we got T.V. seats! When we were half way there we looked out of the window to see the great big blue sky and fluffy, giant white clouds below us.

We managed to soar onto the runway landing safely and soundly. We jumped out of the plane and ran to find the dark blue bus we would be travelling on. Zahn and I were hoping that it would be a double decker bus because there aren´t any in New Zealand. Sadly it wasn´t but to my suprise we managed to find our hotel without any help ... NOT! Finally we found our hotel, got settled into our room and went exploring. We found a small market by the zoo. we didn´t find anything to buy except candyfloss ... yum tum. After a little more walking we came across a South American reastaurant the we automatically fell in love with. We had a lovely waitress from America who had been working there for 2 days and was aiming to become fluent in spanish.

After dinner we strolled back to our hotel. Dad, Zahn and I played some pool and mum was on the computer doing our blog.

After our game of pool we headed off to sleep ready for our plane ride the next morning.

I noticed ...

1. Llamas are quite popular animals. Tourists can pay to sit on them.


2. There are lots of stray dogs on the streets and nobody minds.


3. Lots of people have handbag dogs with coats on them.


4. They hold lots of markets and festivals.


5. Everybody is lovely and always wanting to help you.


6. Many walls have paintings and murals on them.


7. Many of the restaurants have chips and burgers to sell. Lots also sell hotdogs.


8. The cars drive on the opposite side of the road to New Zealand.

On Sunday we got on the plane to Santaigo in Chile. I was really excited because there should be a T.V. on the back off our seat and that meant I could stay up all night watching movies and playing on the T.V. The lady at the checkout told us that there wasn´t likely to be a T.V. as the planes were older. I felt really really annoyed. We finally got into the plane ... there was a T.V. because the plane was a new Airbus 9320. Yahoo!!! It was fun staying up all night.
When we landed we got off the plane and went out off the airport. My feet were all dirty for being in the plane for 15 hours.Overall I thought that was one of the better plane rides. We were flying with LAN airlines and they were really awesome!

I noticed ...

1. Chillean people lock their houses securely.


2. They are really nice.


3. Chips are common.


4. They like llamas.


5. People here eat alot of pork.


6. Beer is sold in big bottles.


7. There sren´t alot of beggars.


8. There are a lot of cracks in the road.


9. Pet dogs wear clothing.


10. There are alot of stray dogs.


11. Their candyfloss is really nice.


12. Most people have brown skin.
