Santiago to Finisterra

I took a bus today to catchup with Bob and Sue who continued walking to Finisterra while I took in the sights in Santiago. About an hour into the 2.5 hour journey, the bus started leaking radiator fluid and went kaput. The driver had us all get off the bus and collect our luggage to wait for a replacement. So there we were, sixty of us, sitting in the curb in a tiny town not knowing if we had enough time to run to the bar to use the bathroom. About an hour later, as I was looking up how much a taxi would cost and getting a Swiss man and Brazilian lady interested in sharing the cost, the replacement bus showed up. It was a free-for-all getting the luggage stored and getting on the bus. I guess we should be grateful for the timing because shortly after getting back on the road, the rain came in.

The rest of day day went much more smoothly. I checked into my hotel, did laundry, and walked about town. I had a nice dinner of pasta with prawns and called it a night.Baca lagi
