Video post: Arrived in Santiago de Chile

Posted by Carly Lyddiard on Apr 20th, 2008

Hi all.

Here is a very groggy Carly making her first video blog post evar, from Chile. Please forgive me for the badness… its just… bad. And if you’re wondering about my eyes, they are a touch irritated by the combination of dry heat and pollution :-P

Also, my concept of distance was a bit skewed at time of recording – we are very close to Santiago the suburb, but a bit more than 10 minutes walk from the CBD itself. It took about 10-15 minutes on the metro to get there (underground train). Apologies.
