We were all up early and following an early breakfast we were off to Balmaceda for our flight to Santiago. The drive in was something we had all experienced before but we again marveled at the clear rushing streams and the beautiful tree covered mountains, with occasional waterfalls. Once again our plane ride was uneventful and Allan and I said goodbye to the Arthurs and Williams who were spending the rest of their vacation in Buenos Aires. We decided to stay in Chile.
Allan and I picked up our Hertz rented car and spent the better part of an hour trying to program the GPS to get us back to the Hotel Plaza San Francisco. Part of the problem was the fact that the GPS only spoke Spanish and the rest was my unfamiliarity with the Garmin technology. Ultimately we did make it through the light traffic to the hotel. We walked to the same area where we ate before El Saltamonte and found a tasty restaurant. We wandered back to the hotel from the restaurant, wielding our way up and down small streets until we found avenue Bernardo O’Higgins.
