We are about to board a ferry to cruise through Chilean Patagonia towards the southern tip of the Americas - a region of misty fjords and glaciers. The standard of living in Chile is fantastic - right up at U.S. or European level. Unfortunately that also means everything is 4 times more expensive than in Bolivia, so we need to get out of here sharpish...

Having said that, safety standards need a little work - yesterday we were on a wild white-water rafting trip and our idiot guide managed to flip the boat in a Class 4 rapid, leaving us under the raft, scraping against rocks as we swept over a waterfall: sweet.

One more thing: itīs a really amorous country, with every corner of the city parks full of couples sucking each otherīs faces off: serious PDA alert - most disturbing if you are a socially repressed Scotsman!
