Slept like a baby awake at 8am, breakfast by 9am. Grabbed a map from reception and started walking.

Visited areas of plaza el golf, providencia, plaza de armas, santa lucia hill (steps, steps and more steps! This hill was first founded feb 12th, 1541 and was the start of Santiago), mercado centro, bellavista and plaza de la constitucion. Is a city of over 6 million people but despite being busy is strangely relaxed, people don't jostle and push, all just seems to flow along. Lots of trees and green spaces.

Within an hour of wandering noticed a random dog walking with us, then suddenly 2 dogs walking with us. Both healthy. Noticed throughout day dogs everywhere around city and they would suddenly start walking along beside us. Turns out Santiago has thousands of stray dogs that everybody looks after.

Forbes is wearing a pedometer during this trip and we walked just over 15km today.

Dinner - beef - inhaled!!

2 negatives - really dry air and Santiago is blanketed in smog

And yes Hodgy you are very amusing!!
