Not really close but here is what are our last few months of travel, Patagonia calls us, the spring just started, we dreamed of this land of fire for a long time! We also want freshness, it is nearly four months we suffocate in the humidity of Central America.
After two weeks in Boquete with awesome welcome of Martine and Marc, we fly. Two weeks of rest, organization, repair of the tandem, cooking, gardening, swim in the sea .. Thanks to this couple for hosting us so generously!
We cross the city of Panama, buildings under construction, huge, endless. Some are not even finished, the economic crisis.
The bike (less a wheel) in a box, $ 135 extra later here we are on the plane. Around us we see the Chileans who all seem very nice!Feeling confirmed as Santiago, the neighbors reserve us a great welcome since yann, our host is not here to open the door , he went to the airport to welcome us, a surprise, shame!... We were invited to have breakfast.
It mixes very quickly in the atmosphere of Santiago, theater picnic on Sunday, Ulmo honey ice cream, beer at The Clinic, bar very provocative that was created when Pinochet was in the clinic (to escape the prison).
Posters on the walls of the recent demonstrations for an education free. Chile has its imbalances, people earn little but life is expensive. A loaf of bread costs 1.50 euros on average, cheese 5 euros, while the average wage is 200,000 pesos per month, ie about 300 euros. There are huge disparities, the rich are very rich, is also being built for them "Malls" shopping complexes.
In this context, we have been robbed in the subway.
Our credit cards, our driver's licenses and ID cards, plus 100 euros .. everything goes. We end up with nothing. it's weird.Fortunately, we have friends to help us, there it real solidarity, mutual aid between people. Three years around the world, we can no longer say that with people we had only positive experiences!
Just our passports, we have a funny feeling of freedom, not to worry about or where is the wallet, since we have more!
Ah! the day before we had all the dreams we lose two teeth ... It seems it a symbol of renewal, of change. We are listening to the signs, why it happened to us, there is no random. So we go inner ourselves to think about,are we in the fair and right path?
We join Blanche, our friend in the desert of Atacama, it has been 5 years since the flowers didn't blossom with color in the rocks and cacti space of the desert. This is a rare and beautiful ... Symbol of renewal, we breathe a full nose scents
