visit, at great cost, the "factory" of the Moai: we are on the side of a hill that was used as a quarry, where there are statues of all sizes and at all stages of processing. Through studies have found that to make one (and all are about 300 ..) needed to be the work of thirty men for a year, and at least another two months to bring it to the final destination.

arrive in Santiago on 10 and way to the hostel in Barrio Brasil, in the center and near the metro.

After check-in we get rid of heavy things because 'here and' last summer and early wandering around the city 'and deserted as' Domingo go to the park most 'famous city' where there 'who goes by bike, some in the pool, one to sanctuary, and those of us who look just a little' shadow .

We are not complaining about the heat, so all my life.

To reach the top there is 'a cable car, take it and it' great fun to admire the city 'slowly more and more' top up to the mirador where there are many people who drink something I do not know. We ask a cyclist what it is and then we also taste the Mote: It 's really very good, there are peaches and corn cooked boiled into a kind of fishing to the super cool y muy bueno.

After we relaxed refreshed and regenerated before this city 'lying before us, we go to visit the Chascona, Pablo Neruda's house where he lived with his third wife: he was a lover of the sea but did not like sailing, so he built this house-shaped vessel.

Beautiful, full of objects gathered from all over the world, and many photos and paintings, including a portrait of his wife executed by Diego Rivera, very special.

've never seen a Nobel Prize ...?

After the visit we met with Sergio, a chico known that we will host through Couch Surfing 'in the coming days.

The appointment 'in a very nice place with a large courtyard cafes of all types, yogurt bars and restaurants, we've been together a couple of hours and we left with a see you tomorrow at his house.

evening out for dinner in one of the best restaurants de pescado y mariscos, since super kitschy that's like being on a ship with the waiters dressed as sailors, but great food: a plate of delicious oysters at 10 € and the rest I'll let you imagine.

Apple, Cute, Sergio

Apple and oysters ..

The 24 arrived at the home of Sergio and Elisa, the younger sister, a little 'far from downtown but well connected to metro, very bright and above all very colorful, give us a room with clean bathroom and lenzulola .. ... YOU WANT MORE OF 'THE LIFE?

After receiving the keys of the house we go and stand in agreement with Sergio we meet in the evening and we'll do the dinner.

start the real visit to the city ': historic buildings, Cathedral, La Moneda Palace with a statue next to Saved Allende, many murals, Plaza de Armas with chess players and a fountain where the children bathe with their mothers dressed them watching and photographing them instead of scolding me, laughing with them.

Then following the advice of the famous Lonely Planet we are looking for some ways different from the rest of the city ': there is a beautiful square with guys who play guitar, surrounded by historic houses abandoned after the earthquake of 2010

There are also two roads that intersect, and via London via Paris, very English and very delicious French piazzettina and perhaps why 'and' holiday there are many guys who improvise classical music of good quality ' in the road and 'pleasant rest for a while' listening.

Clothes For Women With A Big Belly

Monday, November 22, 2010

past two days by boat, arrived in Luang Prabang, I am greeted by a beautiful sunset on Mekong River and a large crowd of tourists as it was unexpected. The situation was quickly revealed: for the first time me and two traveling companions Michael and Lapo, we encountered difficulties in finding a place to sleep. I would not have thought it? In these years of traveling I have never booked a room before you arrive on the scene and has always gone smoothly. I had just come to Laos to have these problems? Strange but true, Praband Luang, a crossroads between the extreme north and south of Laos, is a country wrought by tourism very colonial-style medium-high heat.

The heart of the country, a small strip of land that acts as a peninsula between the Mekong River and the tributary Nam Khan, it is certainly very strange to find yourself deep in the East, because, in a sense, the atmosphere is vaguely familiar: the entire center, very nice, full of temples, traditional markets and beautiful panoramic terraces overlooking the Mekong , is in fact an architectural mix of East and the French colonial past was, but what is most striking, it seems silly to say, is the bread! Yes .. lots and lots of white bread baguette anywhere in asia that stuff is as rare as gold. The French apparently hannno left their mark.

The country has also been declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO and behold, everything is explained: When the lights come on ... the audience comes in bulk!
