1 day to go...

So this time tomorrow I will be, all going well, on the way to Santiago, Chile, where the weather will be a maximum 29 degrees minimum of 15 degrees, and "pleasantly warm", one website tells me. I have 5 days in Santiago with a tour where they will check me into a hotel (Best Western, seems they're everywhere), and take me around to the city and the countryside until I leave for Lima, Peru on the 17th of May. From Lima I will go on to Cusco, which will be my main destination until the 12th of June. Here I will be able to unload the donations I have packed for the school that I will be volunteering at. Thanks to the very kind donations from friends in Australia, I have bought such items as children's vitamins, exercise books, staplers, scissors and glue, gardening gloves, and hand wash and hand towels. And vegemite for a certain Swedish volunteer who has apparently become addicted!
