You know, sleeping upright is one of those skills I wish I had. We were in relatively comfortable seats but sleeping upright is just plain hard to accomplished. We landed in Chile without a hitch, though we are feeling (and probably smelling) ripe. After disembarking from the plane we were herded like cattle through an intricate maze of document checking (where our documents had expired due to the long flight delay…), PCR testing, customs, and baggage claim. Though smooth, it felt very conveyer-belt-ish. Next we sat in what appeared to be one of the busiest airports awaiting our flight to Punta Arenas.
A very lovely flight which we missed most of as our exhaustion is catching up with us. We both did achieve 3 solid hours of sleep on the plane.
Arriving without issues we met Victor, our driver, who drove us for 5 hours across beautiful flat landscape dotted occasionally with craggy mountains. The sunset and we continued in the dark without signs of civilization. Finally, at our wits’ end we arrived at our hotel! It’s dark so not a lot of descriptions but the hotel, for being the only building in the valley, is emasculate. Ben met us at midnight for some food and a beer before we stalked off to have the best shower I have ever had. Finally, we are showered, fed, and in a bed. can’t wait for hiking tomorrow.
Ps sorry if there are grammar or spelling issues.. too tired to care…
