Valpo to Santiago
It bucketed down pretty much all night, but there was a welcome break as we were heading to the bus station to return to Santiago. The very nice owners of the airbnb apartment we stayed in drove us to the bus station .... an advantage that airbnb sometimes has over other forms of accommodation.
Today's bus was a premium one .... really comfy seats and USB ports, too bad we were only on a short trip - it would have come in handy on the 10 and 12 hour bus rides!
It was a soggy Santiago we arrived into, a city feels more comfortable when you have been there before and because we now kind of know what we are doing we booked into a cute studio apartment in the Lastarria area, with lots of cafes, bars and restaurants at our doorstep. Last time in Santiago we stayed in downtown and although it is close to the museums and the plazas, it was a bit dead on the weekends and doesn't have the buzz of some of the other parts of town.
Our apartment here also had high speed internet provided via optical fibre .... makes us look pretty poor when a country like Chile can have state of the art internet, but back home we struggle to get a decent network up and running!!
