Santiago de Chile - Blogabond

okidoki... Our trip in Chile ends in it's capital Santiago, home to around 8 million people.
We stayed in a very nice hostel, very big, it used to be a mansion so it was all colonial style, groovy...

There is quite a bit of stuff to see in Santiago, we did a lot of walking and on our first day we went to se a huge food market, mostly vegetables and fruit, but very nice products, we ended up buying artichokes, avocado and lots of other stuff for dinner. We also had

lunch at the fish market close by with some fresh seafood. For the first day since Brazil we had warm weather, we could walk in t-shirt!

On our second day, we went to see cerro santa lucia which used to be a convent, hermitage and military bastion. From the top you can see far over Santiago, well you should be enable to see, but it was a foggy day so we did not see very far.

After we headed for a big park in the city, you have to take a lift to get up and then we walked down, there is alot to see, first we did not know where to go and walked into a jewish celebration of some kind, lured there by the music. the park houses a zoo (which we did not visit) pools, japanese gardens and much more, we just strolled through it gently

for 2 hours before heading home.

Well, we did not do that much in Santiago but we had a good time and took it easy. We are now in Lima and tomorrow we will be leaving for Cuzco, a 22 hour bus ride away.
