Arrival in Santiago

We arrived in Santiago late, tired but excited. Our hotel is called Castillo Rojo (we took a picture in the am, so you could see that it looks like an old castle). It is a boutique hotel that was opened about 4 years ago. It is actually an old house, filled with funky rooms, balconies, and lots of staircases. Fortunately, it turns out that it also has super comfy beds.

But, before we tucked out tired bodies into bed, we set out to explore a bit. The area in which we are staying — Bella Vista — is super hip and happening, with tons of people out on the street, even though it was almost 11 pm. We explored, found an ATM (which turned out to be a bit of a challenge), and ate some ice cream (something sure to be repeated many times.). Tired and with full tummies, we returned to the hotel for some much needed sleep.Weiterlesen
