New Years - 2016 - Day 20

Our last day of the trip except for flying and the weather was perfect again – hot, dry and in the 90’s.

We were unable to get a tour of the Presidential Palace as it now took 7 – 10 days to get approval.

So we walked to the Subway and took the 20 – 30 minute ride to the city center where we had a great individual tour of the City’s Opera House.  The tour guide had lived all over Europe and spoke perfect English.  They were working on the set so the lights were not on inside the opera house but we did get to go in and see it.  Then she took us to the 4^th balcony and wow, what a sight.  After that we went up two more floors to the floor where the sets were made – very interesting.

We had seen a famous fast food place called Dominos (not the pizza place) and went to it for lunch.  It was a hot dog place and the food was just fun for lunch.

Next we went to see the house of Pablo Neruda, a Nobel Prize Poet who built his house on the side of the hill in three levels.  It was a fun tour.

Then we walked back to the subway station and took the subway back to the hotel where we have a 6:00pm check out time and a car to pick us up to the airport at 6:45pm.

That’s all for now – see you at home – it was a wonderful trip and we are ready to be home.
