What do you mean I told you all to read my blog and then didn't touch it for months? I've been busy...

Right, let's see what I can do here then. After all the fun of freezing to death in the middle of a Patagonian winter, I jumped straight on a three hour flight back to Buenos Aires, and stayed there just long enough to go to SouthFest, a house festival for 20,000 people down by the docks. The line-up included Plump DJ's and LCD Soundsystem and was headlined by Deep Dish. Now I've got enough of Deep Dish's CD's to know I can no longer stand them but I thought I'd give them one last chance. On the whole the night wasn't too bad. I rocked up with about 15 Argies and we had a decent enough time but despite my best efforts I was still pretty bored with the music by the end of the night.

Seeing as my flight home's from Buenos Aires, it seemed pointless spending any more than a couple of nights here this time around so jumped straight on a bus to Santiago. I know what you're thinking; 'Why the fuck would you
When I saw this picture, I almost wondered if my camera had gone off accidentally in my pocket. Nice half a bench, though.want to go and visit a gash country like Chile again?' and there's not really much of an answer. It's right up there with Chinese water torture and eating my own head on my 'Only for very very rainy days' list but I had a couple of people I wanted to catch up with and a replacement credit card to pick up from there so thought I'd pay a flying visit. On a bus. With the firm intention of staying as little time as possible in that miserable skinny country.

My Chilean itinerary this time around consisted of a couple of nights in Santiago (my card still hadn't arrived), a night in each of Viña del Mar and Valparaiso - effectively two halves of the same conurbation - then another night in Santiago to give my card one last chance to turn up ...
