I think I can now safely conclude there isn't much to do in Santiago on Sundays - it's awfully quiet. Slightly foolishly, I decided to stay an extra day here to see what goes on during the week - although a lot of the interesting stuff is closed on Mondays, so I've had a rather unproductive day. Luckily, I'm going to be passing through Santiago a few times so hopefully I will get to see some of its other sides before I return for the final time to catch my flight home.

I'm staying in the Bella Vista district - it's a nice little area where there are numerous really low key bars where you can sit on the street, in the sun drinking beers and watching the passing parade. The other thing to see in this barrio (district) is the Parque Metropolitano which is home to the zoo, two pools, places to eat etc. I decided to walk up to the top of the Cerro San Cristóbal to see the view and the statues. At the last minute though I decided to catch the funicular railway back down to ground - but at least I can say I got some exercise today if nothing else!
