We slept in until 8:45 (me) and 9:30 (Caro) and shortly afterwards had breakfast in the restaurant here.
After that we were on the streets again finding areas in the historical center that we hadn't seen before.
One part of that walk was the other side of the hill across the street from us which contains Hidalgo castle. The photo below is a fountain called Neptune Terrace.
Once done walking the center we caught the metro over to the tallest building in South America (the Grand Tower) where we walked to the base of the tower which contains a multi level shopping center.
After walking quite a bit of the new financial area of this city we caught the metro back to our area.
We went to the same restaurant we ate at yesterday and ordered the same finger food. The secret to this food is a tomato marmalade containing a Peruvian chile. It is wonderfully tasty.
As luck would have it we happened to see the same buskers we enjoyed so much last night beginning to set up for tonight so we asked one of the guitarists what had occurred when the police came to "chat" last night. The cop had apparently told them to sing one more song and just move on. As with yesterday they were top notch. You could tell they loved singing and playing for the people and they were receiving lots of donations (of course from us too). This time we both great video.
Well we have enough Chilean cash to get the taxi in the morning and leave a couple of tips to hotel staff so we are spending the evening vegging in our room.
