The tourist office at the train station offer half and full day tours to experience Bordeaux. Very well organized and at a very reasonable price (full day was less than 100USD when I went).

However, if y ou love wine, you may want to stay for longer and organize or join a more in depth tour of your favorite wineries.

Experience Bordeaux!

Nice community where you can work or live. Not too many touristic attractions, and the restaurants, shops, and hotels are sparse.

I live there.

The photo is of a statue near the center of the town celebrating the shoe makers that once made the town proud and the shoe factory owners rich (during the Industrial Revolution).

Good way to see the most important sights.

Walk over it to take good photos of the Opera House.
Or take a ferry so that you can take photos of the bridge in a better way.
Cross it to go to Manly or Luna Park.
Or just climb on top of it (for a fee, which I haven’t done)—some people say the feeling is unforgetable.

Photo includes Ferries, Luna Park, and the Bridge Itself.

Take BuqueBus and go to Montevideo or Colonia. We did both.

Similar culture and architecture, less egocentric people than Buenos Aires.

Worth going there, you can take the BuqueBus ferry to/from Buenos Aires.

La Sebastiana is one of the Pablo Neruda houses you can find in Chile. It is a worthy visit if you are in the area – from an artistic point of view: The house and the town resemble each other.

The city is an important port that lies just next to a mountain range. The streets of the town are very intricate, small, steep streets and there are several town operated elevators to move people from one level to the other.

The house itself resembles the town. Very tall house, about five or six levels, all small, low ceilings, with narrow passages, and each room decorated in a very particular, tastefull, and artistic way.

Other people bought the house after Neruda’s death. Subsequently, a preservation society has bought and restored the house to be shown to the public (for a nominal fee). You can reach the house by bus or taxi, but certainly not at walking distance from the touristic areas in town.

Take a side trip out of Santiago to Vinha del Mar or Valparaiso. They are a couple of ours out of the city and easily reachable from the Station of Universidad de Santiago (by buses that depart every 20 min from two companies).

One of Pablo Neruda houses is there.

Charming towns, with intricate streets, nice food, and wonderfull people.

Modern City. Good transportation. A bit too much air pollution. People appear to be more laid back than in most big cities.

The photo is of Palacio de La Moneda, the government house.

It was once an important trade center. Now it has a few good schools, a few good restaurants, and a very important client of my company.

The town is lovely, enjoyable, but I wouldn’t go there unless I had to.

Bathurst Train Station in Picture.
From there you can take a 3.5 hours train to/from Sydney. If you can’t catch the train, there is always bus service, and REX also provides service to Bathurst Airport.
