Now it was over! We had to/wanted to go back home, to Berlin. Franziska had scheduled a half-day of home office so she could spend the last few hours with us. We packed our...

After arriving in the intense heat of Santiago, we took a quiet day. Franziska was at work and we enjoyed her apartment. Karin visited the pool and I wrote. Around noon, we set...

So, today was the last day in Santiago's heat. The wildfires in the south have also had an impact on the capital, as the sky is very hazy and the air is even harder to breathe....

Another day with extreme heat! It is not usual in Santiago to have temperatures above 30°C consistently in February. But we still wanted to go out, so Los Dominicos was...

Today I didn't feel like doing anything. The intense heat and the gaps in my blog made me stay at home and work from home. Franziska and Karin wanted to stroll through...

Finally, the weekend for Franzi and the opportunity for her to show us something new. But we also wanted her to discover something new for herself. Cajón del Maipo was a sort of...

La Serena: Waiting for the taxi

Today we went to the city. Our plan was to walk to the waterfront (Avd. De Mare) and take a bus from there to the city center. We had seen public transportation in the previous...

This tour we were picked up right on time, first us and then the other participants. Of the ten participants, two spoke Spanish and the others spoke German! We went to 'Reserva...

So today we are changing locations again! And without the tourist bonus this time! After checking out of the Hotel Terral, Karin shouldered her two backpacks and carried the...

Mirador Cerro de la Virgen

We didn't report yesterday how we (with Franziska's help) actually came to this place! So I already hinted that after the shared week with our daughter and the time with the...

Another change! We wanted to go to our next location in Vicuña! For that, we had to go back to Calama! And as we have already written, our shuttle was supposed to pick us up at...

Basic equipment Tatio with hot tea

Today we wanted to have a quiet day. Although you only sit in the bus during the tours and are hardly physically challenged, we were always somehow exhausted at the end! It...

Today we took a full-day tour to Piedras Rojas Rochas (red rocks), Lagunas Antiplanicas, and Chaxa. During this excursion, we were supposed to reach a maximum altitude of 4200...

Chilean Coach

Today is our daughter's birthday. It's her 43rd birthday and our entire Chile trip planning has revolved around this date. Our initial plan was to visit Franziska over Christmas...

Today we took a guided day tour that was supposed to take us to the abandoned saltpeter villages of Humberstone and Santa Laura. Unfortunately, these two places were not offered...

Today I decided to have a 'home office day'. The travel blog is falling behind! Karin is focused on her audio play and enjoys the wide view from the balcony. The city and the...

It should have started in the early morning (4:45 am wake-up; 5:30 am shuttle service) today, but is it even earlier? !!As we went to bed last night, I remembered that Karin and...

We spent the day together as a group of three. Franzi started her vacation today, and now our time together begins. First, we went to the bus stop, and the 502 bus was supposed...

Today we are on our own, Franzi has an invitation outside the city. She took us to the nearest metro station 'Pedro de Valdivia' and took care of our tickets. In Santiago, a...

Since we traveled a lot with the 'lonely planet' travel guide, it should also be our support for the activities. Franzi had registered the day as 'home office', so we could have...

The rest of the day, after Franzi came home from work, we spent in the apartment with the joy of reunion and many shared experiences. Eating, drinking, and talking were not so...
