Santiago, Chile

Interesting night spent with my stomach seemingly adjusting to Chilean ways, it was too hot and therefore did not feel my best heading down to the bus station. Purchased a new bus ticket and even managed to indicate I wanted a window seat….got on to find I had the window, the whole front on the top deck! Great place to be with sun streaming in as we wound round roads and my stomach tried to stay put. My reward for this and a short metro trip was the Crown Plaza, air conditioned room with free drinks and snack (courtesy of Justin’s hotel points). This was bliss. Justin arrived after a long, chaotic immigration session to find me checked in and snoozing on my comfy (4 pillow) bed. We went on a amble around the key points in the centre, grabbed an ice cream and spent an hour or two in the cool shade of Forestal park. Dinner was in a great restaurant where Justin also enjoyed a Pisco cocktail (he crashed by 10pm).
