The Cactus Trip Diaries

Days were getting shorter, weather was getting more and more autumnal, so the time had come to disappear South, to Chile, where Spring was starting and stories of the Desert in Flower were causing quite a stir.

Peter was kind enough to drive Angie and me to Heathrow where we were met by veteran Chile travellers Cliff Thompson, Ian Woolnough and newbie David Neville. There was an earlier flight to Madrid than the one that we were booked on, so we proceeded straight through the usual security & immigration procedures and off we were.
