Flying...anyway to travel?

Long before our Dragoman trip we discovered that Chile has a discount airline so we decided that instead of 12 hours in a bus we would do 1.5 hours in an Airbus plane from Puerto Montt to Santiago.

So Monday AM we took the $3 bus to the airport and all went well.  Flight went well.  Arrived at Santiago and planned to take bus to our hostel but a smooth talking, lying  tout convinced me to say ok to a 20,000 per person peso ride ($70 total]) instead of the 1,500 per person peso ride into town.  Kinda spoiled the whole day.   We should all feel sorry for the next 10 touts that try to approach me.

In Santiago made use of the free walking tour (donation expected) to the city center and picked up box at grocery store to send cold weather stuff to home in Colorado.

Thurday 11PM we start 42 hour journey  to Houston, London and Bangkok.  50,000 miles on United and $102.10 each will take you a long way if you can use their scheduling.  Will be in Houston from 7AM Friday Feb 12 until 3PM Friday Feb 12 if anyone wants to talk me one of us.  309 255 4014.

Then it is on to London and Bangkok until 6AM Sunday Bangkok time.  Total travel time 44 hours 55 minutes.

Wow Bill, you are covering a lot of miles and seeing a lot. Keep tighter control on your wallet...not usually advice you need.

It is disappointing that the Super Bowl was not that super there... :-)

Stay safe and enjoy.

Manizales, Colombia

Image
Eight happy hours on a curvy road in a big bus brings us to the North part of the "coffee triangle."  The area of Colombia known for the most coffee production.  Havent seem much of it yet, but very pretty area. Ive been in much of the US Rockies where roads are built in the valley or along rivers and every once in awhile we climb over a pass to the next valley.  Here it appears that small settlements were built high near the ridgeline....so the road follows near the ridgeline.  Lots of back and forth driving with limited passing opportunities.  But then hard to get more that 60 kph speed when you have to do a 90 degree turn every 100 yards. Manizales is a town of about 300,000 souls also built on a ridge.  Bus station is a bottom and two enclosed ski lifts (my term) will take you to the top of two separate towns...Manizales or MariaSomething.   Ride cost about US$.45.  This is also a University town so lots of young people around....

On to Palamino

Image
    East of Santa Marta is Tyronia (Spelling) National Park which is said to have the best beaches in  South America along with lots of birds and wildlife.  We didnt go there  (Denyse forgot her berka).  But just past the park is a miles long beach at the town of Palamino.  Another hippy, young person hostel town just growing into it´s tourist future.  After checking the beach out we contracted for the river float and ended up on a two hour float down the Palamino river which ends at the Beach.  I believe I spend one of my nine lives on the back of a 125 cc moto driven by a 17 year old to take up to the put in point. Then two hours of minimum rapids and shallow water to the beach.  A number of the hostels also have space for camping either in your tent, their tent, their hammock, dorm room or private room.  This is a 1960s Carribean beach resort at a small fraction of the cost of any other Carribean island.

Just a little Adventure

     Sometimes you make your own adventure....whether you wish to or not. In purchasing bus tickets from Santa Marta I wanted to use my newer credit card (sign up miles bonus) but the young clerk wasn´t use to chip credit cards (What, no pin!).  So the transaction lasted 15 minutes or so with a lot of tries.  Once complete we left for the bus....not knowing we left credit card back at ticket counter. All is fine on the bus, a fairly new Volvo with seating to compare to Air First Class.  The conductor comes back with his cell phone with someone one the phone who wishes to talk with me. My spanish is not good, in Santa Marta they talk FAST and it happens passenger behind me knows Spanish and English so he takes phone and explains that they have card and will send it on next bus to our destination so stay at terminal for 2 hours after arrival to pick it up. So far, so good.  But at 9PM second bus is in and no one knows about credit card.  Come ba...
