Had a quiet couple of days now. First the transfer to Santiago and on to the Vineyard where we are staying. On arrival we checked into our room (called Pinot Noir) , had a superb lunch (with lovely wine) then did not very much, followed by a superb dinner (with lovely wine), where we were the only 2 people in the dining room. 

After breakfast we went for a long-ish stroll (a bit longer than we thought because the “map” is representational rather than to scale!). The route markers are wine bottle shaped as you can see. We passed on lunch, but in the afternoon went to the Bodega for a tour and some wine-tasting. A very impressive piece of architecture. Then another great meal (with lovely wine).

Some fool suggested that he might get up a 6 am to take some pictures of the milky way, and his words were taken at face value, resulting in being shaken awake at the appointed time. Not too bad, but a) you can’t see overhead power lines when it’s 6am, and b) there were a few high clouds. Might try again tomorrow morning.

And then after breakfast, another walk to a slightly abandoned lookout, and the return via a totally abandoned path – resulting in many scratched legs and arms. Just chilling this afternoon at the moment.

We head home tomorrow! I think we might try some wine with dinner.
