Admittedly we had been a little optimistic about how great Peurto Montt would be as a stop over, en route to Santiago. All excursions to the volcanoe were cancelled due to bad weather so Mr Forbes and I made the most of getting to know Chile by dining in a hotel equivalent to a Travel Lodge, going to the casino and watching 4 DVDs in 2 days.
Arrived in Santiago yesterday. Staying in a beautiful old building (French townhouse style....Tommy is currently standing on the balcony sipping beer, in a thong pant get up whilst doing some kind of plie), visiting museums, climbing San Cristobal and hanging out with our new Chilean friend Dr. Jorge.
We met Jorge on a boat in the Patagonian mountains. He claims he felt an immediate connection and therefore taken our comfort and happiness, in Santiago (his home town), into his own hands.
Jorge took us to his apartment today, to his favourite neighbourhoods and then into the mountains. He is determined to help us fall in love with the city.....we are.
