I caught a bus from Concon back to Viña del Mar then another bus from there which took just under two hours. I didn't actually arrive in Santiago until 2.30pm.
I went to a bar for a few beers before an early night for a 3.15 start the following morning. Just when I was thinking that this post, the last of the blog, was going to be really boring, a fight broke out then a bloke threatened to kill me!!

| Street near the centre. |
 |
| Plaza de Armas - centre of Santiago. |
 |
| Here I'm enjoying a beer and reading my kindle... |
 |
| ...then there's an argument at the door between a couple who were eating at a table close to mine and the staff. The woman then starts slapping a waitress! Two policemen on horseback just happened to be going past at the time. |
 |
| Nothing came of it, the couple reluctantly parted with cash that they seemed to think wasn't theirs to pay and they walked off. |
 |
| Next thing this bloke appears begging. There was a couple at the table directly opposite mine who were leaving at the time. They had almost a full plate of chips, so they tell the bloke he can have them. They get up and leave and he sits down. Here I've given him some small change so I can take his picture, no problem at this point in time! |
 |
| He was keen to show this tattoo off. After he finished the chips he proceeded to put the knife and fork into his pocket. There was a waitress on the other side of me at the time so I told her, this is when he said he was gonna kill me!! |
 |
| About 36 hours later. I'd flown from Santiago to Panama, then on to the Dominican Republic, then on to Frankfurt. In Frankfurt I had to travel 100kms by bus to another airport before flying to Lanzarote - this picture taken from the bus... |
 |
| ...the last time I'd seen snow was at 4600 metres above sea level in Peru! |
