Santiago is a refreshing change from the other places we´ve been to. It has complete buildings and seats on the toilets! We went for a wander around the CBD and shopping areas. The main shopping streets are pedestrianised which creates a lovely atmosphere in the balmy evenings as the areas are full of people. The only downer is the ´Pan flute greatest hit versions of western songs from the 80´s´ cd that gets piped out of speakers on the streets. Lord save us!!

We took the obligatory look at the Plaza de Armas and then visited the Central Market where restaurant waiters approached us from all sides inviting us to their restaurants. The market also sold fresh seafood.
