Today we woke up and spent the morning packing and getting ready to fly down south for our flight.
We then head out around 11 am and went to the Bellavista neighborhood once again. There, we wandered around the artisan shops for about two hours, and went to another restaurant recommended by the Santiago Bizarro book (because Ocean Pacific turned out to be muy deliciouso!). This restaurant, "Como agua para chocolate," was supposed to be very romantic. And, it was! We sat next to a lovely fountain, (although we did have the option of having a bed for a table).
Given that we had seafood yesterday and that we probably will be eating down south, we opted for a delicious cut of beef. It was very tasty, but the presentation was the highlight. Served on a bed of chopped green beans and zucchini, the bacon-wrapped filet had a delicious pepper sauce with spaghetti noodles sticking out of the top for a touch of fun. We decided to get dessert (because how can you not get dessert when chocolate is in the name of the restaurant?). We almost ordered shrimp fondue, but luckily realized last minute that we had made a mistake and managed to get chocolate fondue with frutas (spanish is hard!). Highly recommended.
After lunch our bellies were once again too full, so we spent some time walking around our neighborhood before heading home. When we returned we finished up some organizing and packing, watched the movie "sleepover" in english (but with spanish subtitles), and succeeded in calling our hotel in Puerto Natales after many, many failed attempts. If you thought long distance plans were confusing in the states...
Here are some pictures from lunch:

Tomorrow morning we set off for Punta Arenas (8:30 am LAN chile flight 283), and from there on to Puerto Natales by bus. The next morning we enter Torres del Paine, where we will be backpacking for a few days. We may be able to update the blog tomorrow in Puerto Natales, but then will not be able to until we are back in civilization.
¡Adios!
