Look Who We Found in Santiago

18-03-25 Tuesday

A morning tour around central Santiago was the go for today. First stop is to pick up some passengers (above) and then to head to the funicular and up San Christobal Hill which rises 300 metres above the city giving us great views across the city to the coastal mountains. Mark and Amanda, Emily and Kaley joined us today and we get our first group shot for this holiday. Back down on the funicular as the cable car is not running at the moment. Then a short drive into the older city area for a walk past the government buildings, banks, cathedral and museums. The cathedral today was much simpler than the previous ones we’ve seen, but still impressive. Next stop was a market with a large “fresh” fish section. Pretty smelly but had quite a range of seafood. Not all appetising. We were all delivered back to our hotel from where we walked over to a large shopping centre for some lunch. Ribs and hamburgers were the go. All very tasty. A spot of shopping then back to hotel for a coffee and drink before Mark and Amanda a girls head back to their hotel.
