Sitting in the departure lounge at La Serena waiting for our rearranged flight to Santiago. Unfortunately there was fog first thing this morning and our inbound aircraft could not depart from Antofagasta.
This means that we cannot get to Puerto Montt today. So off to Santiago for another night and a morning flight to Puerto Montt tomorrow. Another challenge to my limited Espanol since the girl at the check -in desk had no English but she had a pretty smile and was as helpful as she could be. Guess that's just one of the joys of travel.
Sense of humour being challenged slightly as we hear that our rearranged flight is now delayed for at least 90 mins. By which time we will have been in the airport for nearly 8 hours. Had planned an alcohol-free day but may have to invoke force-majeure!
Finally made it to Santiago – off to Patio Bellavista for a cold beer. I realise that the Scottish government has suggested that it is advisable to have a regular alcohol-free day to protect the health but I am sure there will be another day this year when I can follow their advice.
Not to worry Richard.... I will ensure that you have a no alcohol day when you return to Toronto. Linda on the other hand she will have a repeat performance""""The piper is down """".....
