Off on the cool and efficient Metro, we head to the civic centre of the capital of Chile. It has a business feel to it and is well guarded by handsome, white uniformed guards all around the centre of government. We skip the museums on our first visit to this impressive central area, but the central Bank of Chile building is a gem of beautiful architecture, old fashioned teller booths, a handsome central 4 faced clock. Similarly, the main post office building is also impressive with tiers of beautifully made railings.
Close to the fish market, we again succumb to the sounds and smells of the restaurants. We return to Richard’s, the free pisco sours, the cold draft beer and crispy salads and tasty mussels.
The 34 degree heat is exhausting so we quickly head to the metro, back to the hotel for our siesta until evening breezes cool it all off.
