South America here I come !!!

6 countries in 3 days

This crazy adventure trip to South America is officially my first major travel experience.I am so excited that even after a hectic long flight of 20 hours from Mumbai to Melbourne today and 2 hours of sleep, I am still looking forward to the next long flight to Chile, with a 24 hour transit wait in New Zealand.
Oh! I cant get out the Auckland airport as I am not a cititzen of Australia. So I will be spending 24 hours in the airport and then fly to Chile. I dont want Anth to suffer because of me so I asked him to get out. Not sure what he is goin to do.

Getting the Visas for the South American countries wasnt easy either.Man these last two months have been one of the most frustrating times I have gone through. Having an Indian passport makes it so difficult, its not funny. And I didnt realise that before.
The most frustrating experience was getting the tourist visa for Chile. I am going to be in Chile for not more than 4 days. The amount of paperwork these people asked for was just unbelievable and moreover after assuring that I will get the visa in 15days it took them a good month and a half to give me the visa.

Its 2.20am and I just finished packing. I was a bit stressed as just got to Melbourne today morning from Mumbai. I had to unpack and pack again which wasnt great fun.
Its not the most exciting thing to do after a 20 hour long flight from mumbai via dubai via singapore to Melbourne.I am never flying with Emirates to go to India ever again. Singapore Airlines is the best option and I have learnt that lesson the hard way.

Anyway I am finally ready and Ripped For Rio !
