Check out time was noon. So we had another leisurely lunch, checked out and left our bags to wander around some more in Santiago. We saw many restaurants that had either live sea creatures in aquariums or in glass sided refridgerators.
We also found many more lovely little parks.
We returned to the hotel around 1:30, retrieved our bags and got a taxi to the train station. The station in Santiago is much smaller than the station in Madrid, thus there was not Club Sala with free food and wifi. Instead, we waited in the small cafe and had a beer and light snack. The train came as scheduled and at 2:50, we left for the five and a half hour train ride back to Madrid. While much of the ride as at speeds up to 240 kilometers per hour, much of it was slower, plus we made six stops of varying lengths - a much longer ride time wise even though about the same distance as when Harry I went to Sevilla in February. The train was late, so we got to the hotel later than planned. Sunday was also election day, so we never did meet up with Carol as we had tentatively planned. That was probably for the best, as we had a quick dinner at the local VIPS and got to bed by about 11:00.
