6 hours. I went to the subway that’s amazing is very fast and comfortable. Chile has many high buildings and the streets are named like people and famous places. I visited the house of the presidency called la casa de la moneda, black island located in Valparaiso where the poet pablo Neruda lived. I went to mountain, where I played with snow and tried to ski but that’s very difficult and my fingers were frozed.
Chile has different climates but at that time it was winter, so I needed to wear gloves, scarf, jacket to protect myself, because It was very cold.I recommended visit that places but have appropriate clothes, to be in good shape to climb the mountain and enjoy the travel.

Hi Mum,

After breakfast we sometimes went swimming in the river. We often met
children who like to swim there. They were very nice. At night we nearly always drank a few pints of Guinness in the pub�s bar before we went bed. We always slept well after that, I can assure you.
