Cronica de Viaje - 16 Febrero

My original plan was staying a night in Viña del Mar, but as I didnt like it I decided to return to Santiago. I finally didnt meet Laura as she was busy that night, but maybe I will meet her tonight, so i ended up having a lovely dinner at Javi´s and Eva´s place. We drunk 2 bottles of chilean wine between the three of us, so was at the end our conversationw as quite funny.
Becuase i liked so much pablo Neruda´s house yesterday I decide today to see his main house in Isla Negra, at 2 1/2 hours from Santiago.
So this morning I catched the bus and isla negra was last stop. At the end I was the only one in the bus stopping at Isla Negra. Isla negra is a place by the sea. Quite awful area, but there are some nice houses with wonderfuls views to the Pacific, and neruda´s was one of those.
The house, again, was incredible. Neruda was an excentric coleccionist. He collected almost everything, from glass bottles, to tribal masks, or shells... All displayed on the house, and really worth the two hours by bus. His tomb is also in there, looking at the ocean.
After the visit, there is nothing else to do, so I go for lunch in a typical road bar and back to santiago.
Today is cold here, and my summer jumper is not very warm. Bit of a contrast with yesterday.. I didnt put protection and my face and neck is awfully burnt!
Tomorrow, javi, Eva and myself we are taking the flight to Temuco, and from there we are going by car to Conguillio Natural Park where we will be spending 3 days, trekking or riding horses. After that my real trip starts alone. I will try to post something on monday, after the Conguillio trip.
