We continued our exploring of Santiago yesterday by heading to the barrio (neighbourhood) of Bella Vista. It's a chilled out, arty, crafty type area with brightly coloured houses and lots of craft stalls, cafes, bars and restaurants.
It also has a great big hill, which is a promontory (good word) of the Andes, there with a huge statue of the Virgin Mary.
When we got to the top to see arresting (another good word) views of the city, we went to the huge statue of the virgin. Inside it were... two teenagers snogging each others' faces off. Maybe they thought the location was a form of contraception?
We also met up with another Engish couple, friends of Ros. Together we went on a cultural tour of Santiago involving, ale, wine, sushi, cake, dingy bars and various street performers (the little drummer boy is our favourite. Seen him twice now).
