We are on our last sea day before
our port tomorrow. We arrive in Santiago tomorrow. We were in the
port city of Coquimbo for the quaint city of La Serena Chile. We
were ashore for the 10:30 city on your own tour. A 45 minute bus
ride took us to a city centre that wa very neat and full of friendly
people. It is obvious that there are not a lot of cruise ships that
stop in this port.
The city centre itself was full
of people. There we bands playing on 3 or 4 corners but we also saw
about 1-200 army and police all gathered in one spot. We learned
later that there was going to be a university demonstration. We
heard the noise but did not see the the march or whatever was
planned.
We wandered about the town for about 2
hours going into the market as well as the number of churches that
dotted the city centre.
Back on the ship, we spent the
afternoon packing our bags. We will be going into Santiago tomorrow
to stay at a central location until our flight at 9:15. We met our
friends in Skywalkers and the went to dinner. One couple did not
come down as Kelly was in bed with the chills. Judy is better but I
can feel a cold coming on. With our flight home the blog for this
trip. We do have some time in Santiago for sightseeing tomorrow.
