The next morning, hotel staff were once again conspicuous by there absence when it came to moving bags out to the coach! The good news was, that after good nights sleep at sea level we all began to recover from the tiredness of the previous few days.
Once on the coach we took a scenic tour of Santiago, which was a much more modern (and cleaner) city than Lima.
We only made one stop on the trip and that was at the main square in Santiago, with the Presidential Palace on one side and the other 3 sides housing various ministries.
The current President is young (38) and left leaning, so rather than live in the Palace, he has chosen to live about 15 minutes away in small rented accommodation!
From here we headed off to the port to board the ship.
