Santiago de Chile - more precisely

It was a bit difficult to leave the Pacific. Luckily, I had bought a bus ticket the day before because the bus at 9:15 a.m. was packed. Apparently commuters. I took the metro to the center, where this time I have reserved a hotel in a perfect location: at Cerro Santa Lucia, just a few minutes walk from the beautiful Plaza de Armas. The weather is fantastic: 23°C but dry and very sunny. Since check-in wasn't possible until 3 p.m., I'm going to Plaza de Armas: again full of people enjoying the shade and the nice atmosphere in this very successful center of a metropolis (5.2 million). Museums are closed on Mondays, so I'll go to a cafe or a bar. A street cafe with a view of the palm-fringed staircase of my favorite Cerro Santa Lucia. Before that, a snack - oh, and I finally wanted to try the Pisco Sour. I have to say - yes - it's a real treat, cool and refreshing. The ingredients are grape brandy, sugar, freshly squeezed lemons. I think I taste lime. Maybe the lemons here are more lime-like? I decline a second one from the grinning waiter. I still want to go to the Cerro. A street musician plays funky guitar solos - I don't want to be stingy there. Was 1000 pesos (1.28€) too much? He even pats me on the shoulder and gives a thumbs up as I say goodbye - I do the same. The hotel looks upscale. I think it will be great to spend the last 3 nights here. I still have a lot to do in Santiago. The bus rides are over from today, because at some point, after 39 days on the road, it's enough. There were 6,841 km, of which 445 km by train, 30 km by ship, at least 38 km by taxi, 12 km on foot, 46 km by car, and 60 km by truck.

That's my balance. For taxi and walking distances, only the additional distances are calculated. You can understand that I would like to stay in one place at the moment.
