On my way home I had a quick stop in Santiago before flying home to Australia. It's a nice enough city but not very exciting. I stayed in a nice area and there were lots of restaurants and bars. Everyone would sit outside to eat and drink even though it was almost freezing.
I pretty much saw the city in a day and met a few friends that I had met in Cusco.
On the Sunday I decided to go skiing for the day and it was superb. Beautiful perfect powder snow and clear visibility. I spent the day skiing until about 3.30 in the afternoon when the weather turned really cold and then it started snowing. It was a great day, but didn't do my cold much good.
