one week

Phil's birthday weekend was an absolute corker. So Daisy and I arrived in Santiago late Thursday night, and the three of us spent Friday being rather productive and stocking up on useful things for travelling and having a steak lunch, and then spent the evening in watching Catfish (which is amazing by the way) and slobbing about.

Then on Saturday I told Phil that I was going to go and have lunch with one of Zelma's daughters in Las Condes while Isa, Daisy and he went to Fantasylandia (a theme park, lol), but I in fact crossed the road to his friend Zara's flat, which is right opposite Daisy's, and spent the afternoon prepping for a surprise do at hers that evening. Met up with the chaps later and took Phil on a supermarket run to distract him and then we showed up at the flat just after 8 to a dark room and 20 of his mates who all did the 'SURPRISE!' move on him very successfully!!

It was pretty awesome. There was TONS of food, and everyone was so lovely, it was a really lush evening. Sunday was rather lazy, unsurprisingly, but we did manage to get out and have lunch at the burger place Mr. Jack's. All in all a fab weekend!

I'm not back in Viña for one week of sorting myself out, packing up, and saying goodbyes... I spent all of yesterday on the internet after 2 weeks of being without my laptop, and now I think my body's gone into lockdown and I just feel suuuper tired, which is not helpful.

Going to go to DHL and find out just how expensive it would be to get them to ship some stuff home for me.. It's all rather real now I suppose. There's a leaving party being held at the church on Friday night and all.

I'm feeling rather annoyed at myself for not having any photos to show you but Daisy and Phil have both put some of theirs up and you MUST check them out, they are pretty amazing.
