Just wanted to say ” thank you” for all the beautiful memories we have created together. For being so loving, funny, considerate and smart. For being such great travelers. I have enjoyed every second of our amazing trip. As a family together… As one. This picture has become my favourite of you three. I knowContinue reading “My three musketeers”

Santiago
So nice of Sara and Santi to let us stay at their home in Santiago for our last day. They are on holidays in Brasil so the house is empty with a few boxes still to be unpacked. They moved from Washington to Chile only recently so there is not much furniture around. In aContinue reading “Santiago”
Farewell lunch…
Our last lunch and we are off to Santiago… The end of three beautiful days in Zapallar and almost of our trip. The time with Edgardo was very special and we are grateful for his kindness and hospitality. We are hopeful to see him again soon in Sri Lanka in our new home!
Beach time!
Loved it! We spent the whole afternoon at the beach. Had a pick nick and boys played football. Last night we were here with Edgardo’s friends and they showed us a little island just in front of the coast where a colony of penguins live… Guido was keen to see them but unfortunately you areContinue reading “Beach time!”
Zapallar!
Yesterday, we arrived safe and sound (literally!) in Zapallar. Edgardo was waiting for us with a delicious meal. The house is amazing! We still were in time to see the view from his home before the sun was setting. The kids were tired so they went off to sleep after dinner but Miguel and IContinue reading “Zapallar!”
Back on the road…
We changed the bus for a car and heading to Zapallar, our last destination of our trip before we leave from Santiago back to Madrid. I can’t believe we are almost at the end… Looking at this video it sums it all up. “Having a good time”! 🙂 We have bonded so much and ourContinue reading “Back on the road…”
Bye bye Elqui…
Leaving Elqui was not easy. For many reasons….We had made some really special friends and all so unexpected. Perhaps that is why and others would say…”it was meant that way”.. I also realise that we are coming to the end of our trip. And that is in itself not easy to accept as we wouldContinue reading “Bye bye Elqui…”
A special encounter!
We met Lolo y Oreana during our astronomy class with the kids. They were asked to give a small introduction about their culture and play a little bit of music to entertain the other participants. And during their play, I realised how meaningful it would be if we could get to know them a littleContinue reading “A special encounter!”
Cooling down!
Goshh, it is hot here!! What we expected to be in Atacama is definitely happening here. The sun is out from early morning, the heat so intense that by midday you need to be inside.. During a little walk last night, we had discovered a little campsite near a river. The place seemed the perfectContinue reading “Cooling down!”
Valle Elqui
And here we are….at what feels and looks to me as remote, spiritual, dry and inspirational. After a 7 hour night bus drive and another 2 and half hours from La Serena we finally arrived in Elqui. A little valley deep into the interior of Chile. Dry, full of cactus, dusty roads and steep mountains.Continue reading “Valle Elqui”
