Leaving the Fjords of Chile and Now in Santiago

Our last night on the ship ended with beautiful weather. Sunset was after 9:30. The farewell dinner for our cruise was very elegant with too much food. The center piece for the buffet table was two large chunks of ice. There were many dishes with fish including octopus. 


The cake was aa even better than it looks!This morning before we left the ship Jo Ellen and I enjoyed the views form the top deck.  


 

We had a stop tn the small town of Puerto Natales and then to the airport. I peeked into the Catholic Church that was on the main square of the town.


 

We flew over the Andes to get to Santiago. It was a 3 hour flight and then a drive into the city center to get settled into our hotel. We had Italian for dinner at a restaurant next door to our hotel. I was determined to get my hair cut so I located a shop in a nearby shopping mall. Ir was a drop in shop and I was pleased that I could remember enough Spanish to tell the stylist what I wanted. Since we are at this same hotel for 3 nights it was a good time to do my laundry in the the sink and it will have enough time to get dry.

Quite the change from Puerto Natales to Santiago! What a difference the three hour flight makes. . . . and when do we get to see pictures of the haircut?

I am very happy with the haircut. Price was great - less then 24 USD with the tip.
