23 December.
We had a very enjoyable dinner with our new travelling companions, Charles & Pat, from England. They are in their mid 60s, so we will not be the oldest on the trip! After dinner we walked around in the very pleasant warm evening air.
We found out this morning that we are leaving Santiago at 10pm tonight - ie in 11 hours, and travelling through to Pucon, the Queenstown of Chile, which is about 800 ks away. So a long overnighter to start. Then we get 3 days there, so will be there for Christmas. No doubt everything will be closed on Christmas day., so may not get to a computer for a few days.
This morning we walked over to the Museum of Fine Arts and spent an hour in the cool looking at paintings and sculpture. Then on to lunch with Charles and Pat to Cafe de la Barres - chicken sandwich for JP and salads for everyone else. Then down to the supermarket for a bottle of water and some red Chilean wine to celebrate Christmas tomorrow evening.
Now back at the hotel at 4.00pm waiting for our 6.00pm briefing.
So we wish you all a very Happy Christmas, will be thinking of you.
