Happy 2012! You gotta love new year, everyone is so full of hope that this year will be even better improvement than the last, and none so more than I. 2011 can go punch itself in the face, I am SO over it already.
We had a brilliant new year celebration, going back to our old flat Viña del Mar and heading down to the beach just before midnight to watch the spectacular fireworks (see photo above) and drink a bottle or two of bubbly with friends from around the world.
So, what do Los Markwell have planned for el año nuevo? Our travel plans have changed somewhat, so we're now going to be staying down here in South America until the begninning of June. I miss friends, family and food more than anything, but it means we can save lots of money to spend on cheese and curry (and gastric bands) when we get back.
We'll be in Santiago now until late February, when we pop over to Argentina for a while (i.e. until I eat all the cows in the country), have a brief trip to Uruguay and then pack in Chile before we fly home in early June. Lots of exciting travels planned before we're back in Blighty, can't wait!
