Caught a 6 hours bus ride from Vina Del Mar today. The buses here are great, reminds me of buses in Turkey. There is an attendant whom walks the aisle and hands out treats like hot tea and cookies. I notice my co-passengers even got serve lunch! They must pay extra for the privilege. The seats in the bus was most comfy too, with recliners and foot rest, and the television plays movies but you don´t get the sound unless you plug your headphones into the headphone plug above you. That is a huge blessing as compare to many long distance buses around the world you don´t have to listen to their blaring televisions while trying to get some sleep!
I arrive in La Serena late, around 3pm. So didn't have much time to check out the town before dusk. I did walk out to the beach to see the lighthouse, and locals being touted for horse rides. The sand here are nice but the water is too damn cold and dangerous to swim. Or so the big sign on entrance said...
Am staying at a hotel call El Punto. I haven´t sleep there yet but it has 5 star backpackers potential already. The beds are solid and comfy, the room very tidy with reading lights, the showers and toilets are clean and comes with toilet paper, there is a fridge for food, a nice hang out area for chit chat and a bar at the back with... Satellite TV! My final hope is for a quiet restful sleep as the past week my sleep has been punctuated with barking mad dogs, locals chatting loudly and construction.
Oh for dinner I ate at Doggies - remember that Hot Dog fast food place I spoke of a few days back? Well I can tell you the food isn't too shabby. The hot dogs was chopped up and server on a plate of french fries and top with chopped tomatoes and avocados. De-li-cious!!!
