CHILE DEC 2018 – JAN 2019
This is one of our notes to record our travels. These are done for our memory, but also have a secondary purpose of sending to family/friends.
We regularly have a short break over the Christmas -January period. Victor cannot stand it when everything local closes down then. This year, Agnes pleaded not to have a northern hemisphere winter. Chile seemed a very appealing place. And, neither of us had ever been to South America. The decision was amply justified: we had a fantastic time.

We departed Canberra at 915 on the Qantas Dash 8-400 putt-putt plane for Sydney. We booked our flights with Latam, the Chilean airline. When we compared Latam’s offer with Qantas’ quote, Qantas was one-third more expensive for exactly the same flights! Yet, this was code-share, Qantas planes all the way.
