3 Months to go

3 Months to go and I'm jabbed up to the eyeballs with vaccinations...!

Three jabs... left me feeling a bit groggy for a day or two, but nothing extreme. Think the sting to my bank account was more the thing that made me cringe.. what all the flyers and price sheets fail to inform you in the medical centres and doctors surgeries is that the prices listed are for each jab and not the whole course of three jabs (which is required in the cases for Hep B and Rabies).

You have been warned... and i have learnt!

Same time next Monday 24th and then Monday 1st Dec for the follow-up jabs to complete the courses.


Itinerary and NZ Visa

I have my forms for a NZ working visa which only takes a few weeks to sort and will be valid from the date i enter the country.

Altering of my Itinerary at STA went well, tho there was a £50 admin fee incurred for moving the choice of start date of the Latin America trip to the 20th Dec 09... Its all mounting up!


Chile Itinerary

Arrive at Santiago somewhere around the 1st of Dec 09 and the visit:

- Valparaiso / Vina del mar
- Chillan: market town
- Pucon: a few days here for a hike up volcan Villarrica
- Valdivia: for Spanish turrets and forts!
- Punta Natales: from here head for the local national park of Torres del Paine.. epic!
- Punta Arenas: final stop at the very southern tip of Chile to see the location referred to as 'The end of the world'!
