Back on track

As we left Curico this morning we stopped at the Miguel Torres winery only to find that despite what their website says, they only run multilingual tours on weekdays - Spanish only at the weekends - and they couldn't arrange a tasting only without the tour. Got the impression that they couldn't be bothered, so we continued on our way to Santa Cruz and the Colchagua Valley wineries.

As we drove, the clouds cleared away,the sun shone and the temperature climbed back to high 20's. Found a very nice place to stay for the first night and excellent sunday lunch - a couple of hours by the pool and then back into town for the entertainment in the Plaza.

The Chileno boy band who came on stage after much delay and confusion may have been just up Kirsten's street but we decided to have an ice cream and head home to prepare for the rigours of the Ruta del Vino and its 25 wineries!
