November 27 and 28- After a quick 5 hour bus ride we arrive in Antofagasta, our cab driver, Pedro picks us up and we are on our way to our Airbnb stay. The house is huge, it even has a hallway for the boys to play hand hockey. The host tells us there are a few termites and that this is normal in Chile. We think…..no problem. Renelle and I are making our way to bed the first night here and there are at least 30 – 50 termites flying around in the hallway. It was disgusting! I end up killing them as they are very slow. We turn on the living room light to attract them away from our bedrooms. In the morning we see around 50 wings laying on the floor underneath the light that was left on. After some research online and a closer inspection of the house we realize that it is absolutely infested with termites. We cancel our booking and move on, renting a hotel room for one night. We ended up going to Happyland (think Ruckers). – Shawn
November 29 – December 1 – After arriving in our new place we realize that we are on the outskirts of town. Our place has two pools (which one needs swimming caps to enter). We are getting a bit stir crazy here as there is really nothing around here. Tomorrow we are going to experience a Chilean circus. – Shawn
Dec 1 – Gabe lost his second tooth on our trip. He was hoping to keep it in his mouth until we get to New Zealand so he could get some New Zealand money. We have hidden the tooth from the Tooth Fairy and Gabe will put it under his pillow when we arrive in New Zealand.
December 3- Yesterday I went to a circus and there was a guy who was on a bike riding on a tight rope high up. – Gabriel
December 4- After realizing that to get to a beach is a $20 cab ride one way, we decide to rent a car. We drove north hoping to find Mejillones. It was a nice reprieve from our boredom of hanging around our apartment. – Shawn
December 5- Today I will talk about Antofagasta, it is a nice place. There are beaches and malls it is quite a fun place. We have been to the beach the water temperature is not too cold, the waves are pretty big. We rented a car so we could drive places. We went on The Beast (which is a huge bouncy castle). I went on it 7 times. That’s all for today. – Sayer
December 6-7- Beach days and family movie nights!!!!
