With Mike
Late morning (now that I have the opportunity, I won't let it go) again, anyway Mike wouldn't be around till 10.30, so I had plenty of time and did my breakfast etc.
When Mike came we walked up to the top of the San Cristobal, and gazed at the... dull view; although the statue at the top, was rather massive. Down in Santiago again we walked for a while and saw a demonstration before we sat down for dinner, caught the metro to the mainsquare, saw a nice reflection before I bought a very fairly priced and very good tripod, for me to bring to Easter Island (as well as the rest of my trip).
We went to get an icecream, which turned out to be extremely good, we then walked to my hostel and said goodbye, he was going to a party tonight, and I am going early to sleep, as tomorrow I am going to Easter Island for a full week, Sunday to Sunday. During this period of time, you will not hear from me, as internet is madly expensive on the island.
So what more can I tell about today? I had great fun... I always have great fun around Mike, he is a brilliant guy and I love his sense of humour, that's all I need to know about this day really.
