Goodbye Isabella

Isi flies back to Canada tonight so I take her out to a posh restaurant for lunch. It turns out to be an Italian and she's gob smacked at the prices, although I thought £5 for a main meal was quite reasonable! The interior looked great and was full of business men in suits, not a woman in sight (well, except for mine!). We both went for Ravioli, mine being an extravagant Wild Boar in a creamy mushroom and red wine sauce. It was very good. That was followed by Isi's favourite hot chocolate at cafe Tomodachi and more delicious cake. (Creamy orange sponge - yum!) That gave Isi just enough time to pack before I took her to the airport for our last beer together. Sniff, sniff!

Arriving back at the hotel I notice a big stage up in Plaza de Armes - some sort of trainer promotion with people on treadmills, a sound system and "Chile 24" slogans plastered around a big timer. No idea what it was about but I took a photo anyway!

A hot dog completo with all the healthy trimmings and a beer completed my night. Oh, in the hotel I see Ali-G on MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch. Even though it was in Espanol I understood most of what he said, "Booyakasha!" It was cool, he went on a rampage and started killing large portions of the audience with his bare fists! Bring it!
