1 December - Pucón to Santiago, Chile

Though we had to leave for the airport at 6.45am, Walter (host extraordinaire) had all the breakfast things out by 6.15am so that we could still have the full choice and eat before we left. Glorious! Tummies full, we loaded our things and ourselves into the minivan and passed a pleasant hour and a half to Temuco airport talking to the other English couple about English things. It is going to feel odd being back in England for good. I'm so used to being a foreigner, either in the U.S. with my "exotic" accent or in South America trying to get by with my GCSE Spanish. I will feel quite ordinary with my middle-of-the-road accent! Once again, Olli and I were the first people in the airport that day. So bizarre. We checked in once they opened the SKY airlines desk and then headed up the escalator to security... which was also not yet open! We peered through the glass doors until someone came out and let us through. Nothing open post-security, of course, but at least we eventually managed to get on to the free wifi. SKY airlines came up trumps again: flight bang on time and luggage quickly delivered. Definitely worth a slightly uncomfortable hour long flight for ~£40 instead of ~£180! We left the terminal and found our transfer van to the hotel. Hello, Santiago! We were delivered to Luciano K, a gorgeous Art Deco boutique hotel in the Lastarria district, recommended by Sally. With our bags dumped, we headed immediately out for lunch and for what we came for: more steak and wine! The restaurant we picked, Bocanáriz, was highly rated and also highly recommended by Bart, the mad Dutchman on our W trek. We loved the wine flights and had a sparkling trio with a starter of ceviche and then some classic Chilean reds with our meat platter and empanadas. Excellent! Our hotel has a roof terrace with a bar and heated swimming pool (heated! Why?! It is over 30•C and sweltering here) and so we enjoyed a glass of wine on the balcony as the afternoon turned to evening. Wonderful relaxation for the end of our trip.
