With our flight to Chile not until later that evening, we decided to spend the morning wandering through the local markets and grabbed some food before our flight. There was an unattended package in the departure lounge area also and trying to watch the police handle it provided us with some entertainment (well Craig anyway, as Katie was the other side of the departure lounge… well away from it!)

We eventually arrived into Santiago at 11pm. We checked into a nearby hostel for the night before heading closer to an apartment in the city centre the following day. It was our first experience of sharing a dorm with others. The other couple we were sharing with seemed pretty friendly and it was interesting finding out their travel plans around South America and what they had got up to.
