PUNTA ARENAS

Now in Chile, weather still wonderfull. Nice town but looks in the grip of a massive recession with all the shops & banks boarded up. They're actually open but boarded against the rioting that's going on on Chile. Walked around the town visiting Sarah Braun's swanky house. She was a German who came here in 19th century, married & made a fortune. Funny place, the statue behind us is a national hero, Bernard O'Higgins. You remember we got 50% off tits in Montevideo, well in PArenas we got 2 for 1 on Corona. I took my virus in & got 2 to take back on board. Everyone is twitchy, we have a Princess ship in port with us.
