Exchange US Dollars into Euros before you go. If you don't, you'll be charged a 10% tax when you exchange your money in...
The title of this post is a bit misleading – while we did make it to Tokyo on our way to Vietnam, our layover on the way home was only about 6 hours. Not long – but enough to get out of the airport if you wish!
We hopped on the train and in about 10 minutes we were in...
Before we booked our flight to Chile, I had honestly never heard of the Atacama Desert.
