On Thursday we went with our new roommate to the botanical gardens which were absolutely stunning. So green and lush, like nothing I'd ever seen before, really. Then we went to the zoo, which was a bit of a mixture of emotions, as I suppose they often are, as quite a few of the animals looked far too skinny, and were prowling around like they were in need of a meal (possibly human shaped). But the animals they had there were just amazing - lions and tigers and bears (oh my!), an elephant, camels, loads of llamas, antelopes and deer, and hippos and rhinos... Seriously impressive. As always, photos and such will be on their way, either from Phil or from my film camera once back in London.
Went for a steak dinner again which was lovely, followed by a drink at a place we'd already been to, Caracas, but we discovered the very cool roof terrace (bit more of an indie, young and trendy crowd), and I tried a fernet and coke, which was rather interesting but I rather enjoyed once my tastebuds got used to the insanely-herby-verging-on-cough-medicine taste.
Today was relaxed, but thankfully the weather was a tad grim, making BA less hard to leave behind. I feel so sure about my return though that I actually didn't feel sad in the slightest.
As we were on the plane taking off, it started to rain and "Don't cry for me, Argentina..." just felt totally relevant.
A change of clothes and underwear in the bag and Daisy and I are off to Puerto Montt tomorrow morning!
More tales to come...
