We flew out of Auckland on the 8th and our inadequate spanish was exposed immediately when the flight attendant asked us what we wanted to eat in spanish and we didn´t recognise a single word of what she said. we just stared blankly back and said english? in english.
We were stuck in Santiago airport for 10 hours, where we were accidently in the middle of a drugs bust. We were sleeping in some chairs minding our own business when there was some voices around us. We opened our eyes to see three armed policemen with two dogs searching another passengers bag in the seat over. They found some too, Ben only woke up when the drug dog sniffed his face (no dugs there). The dogs were friendly but we were unsure about the etiqette of patting police dogs. About 20 Chilleans were watching on with disapproving looks, we were quite the centre of attention.
Getting into town in Buenos Aries was relatively straightforward, we ordered two taxis to account for all of our gear. All of our gear arrived safely, our only gear failure was that we all brought pants that were a size too small making the flight both hilarious and uncomfortable. We cannot wait until our pants fit us.
