Walter, Marcelo + toilets that take paper
We have only been in chile a few hours, we arrived in darkness + have yet to see any of the city. But already I am content. I booked three nights in the Santiago b&b, based on trusty tripadvisor. Even though we arrived at 2.20am, the lovely owner, Walter, picked us up. I knew we had reached civilisation when the toilet in the airport had no bin ie you can flush paper down the toilet. Although, to be fair, it felt a bit odd. Below is a list of the other things here that are making me happy:
- the b&b is beautiful. An old colonial style house + the owners, walter & Marcelo could not be nicer
- the bed is good, as are the pillows and the sheets are crisp White
- you can drink the tap water
- we have inadvertently timed our visit with the celebration of independence and it seems there will be two days of partying. We have been invited to spend tomorrow night celebrating at the b&b with a BBQ. They are making special veggie food for me.
- In light of my central American diet of egg + beans and then south American diet of pizza, we were given fruit + yoghurt, homemade scones + porridge for breakfast
- Marcelo makes jewellery and I have already purchased a couple of lovely pieces (FiKp, you would love)
So, you see why I heart Santiago? The travelling has been awesome but it is lovely to be here. Feels like we're on the home stretch now + no more nasty loos...
Hoorah!
Ps am doing this on my itouch and think it may have done something odd. So ignore typos, randomly placed pieces of text etc...
So, you see.
