Land of the Inca

Long direct flight into Santiago at the back of the plane. Staff were ordinary, but flight was OK. We were both still feeling the effects of bad cold/flu that we had been struggling with for weeks.
Grabbed a taxi at airport on advice of Airbnb host and in our apartment just after lunch.
Needed to do some shopping so headed to central market area which was a ten minute walk. Walked around looking for a supermarket, no luck. Think large markets area with seafood buildings, many meat shops and large fruit and veg areas.
We left with an impression that Santiago was an untidy place with lots of street hawkers. Managed to get some empanadas for lunch before heading back to the apartment for rest and recovery.Læs mere
