Last day in San Pedro and travel to Valparaiso. Mar. 12
March 14, 2012
Not too much to report today. Caught up a little on posting. Had sort of farewell lunch with Anna from Belgium, who as always, talked our heads off - but she is very well meaning.
Took shared van to Calama airport, where we boarded our last SKy Air flight (sad). Now, we have to get used to the shitty U.S. carriers again - "neither food nor room shall we provide".
At Santiago AeroPorto, managed to negotiate a fairly good deal on a taxi to Valparaiso. Thank God for Google maps on my iphone or we'd still be driving around looking for Camilo 109.
We had at a fairly late moment, request an extra night at Camilo 109 B&B, so maybe it should have been no surprise that at 11:00 pm, we were ushered into one of the smallest rooms on the planet with little to no water and Caliente - forget about it.
However, the next morning, we were put in a much nicer room with a great view of the city and port and where the water worked much better (although far from perfectly). It may not be the owners' fault but the city plumbing which is quite antiquated.
