I hate to moan again, but moan I will... what a day! I got up and tried to book accommodation for Santiago as we are due to leave tomorrow at 4:30 am! For two feckin' hours I searched for accommodation and couldn't find anything that we could afford. The boys had gone surfing, so nearly crying with frustration I walked on the beach to find them, but you try and pick out two surfers amongst 100's... non plussed I sat where I always sit to read my book, figuring that they would find me. But after an hour I decided to head back, either they were having a super long surf, had drowned OR were back at the hotel... I wandered back, nearly in more tears of frustration to find that I had been locked out of the gates to the hotel, I waved to the owner who let me in and reported that the boys had already got back and were in the room...grrrrrr!!
After a much needed cry, we walked into town to get some food, when we got back to the hotel Will went to pay the agreed $40 per night, only to find that when she said 40 per night she meant 40,000 pesos...$80 per night...aaaargh!! So we ended up paying double what we thought for a rubbish place!! I went in to the office to beg for more discount but realised that I was about to cry again so had to make a quick exit.
This afternoon we tried to find accommodation in Santiago and finally found somewhere that would take us for 2 nights and was semi affordable so we'll see what that's like when we get there... am feeling much better now and not about to cry so don't worry about me (Mum). On to Santiago manana...Chile is really bloomin' expensive!! xx
