The "Special" Coffee

Day 6: The bank

The day started with a trip to Scotiabank to withdraw cash for a BIP transit card. We thought it'd be free. We were wrong. There was a fee.

The "special" café

Next was a "special" café, where "special" people make "special" coffee.

We were told that in Chile, they speak Spanish. Then we received "special" cappuccinos that tasted like hot chocolate.

Laundry day

Then we tried to do laundry. It turned into an hours-long affair, because the machines only took cash. There was also a small mid-laundry incident. Good thing we were already doing laundry.

Beer garden and park gym

After the laundry we ended up at Ocult beer garden, where we had drinks and finished our work day. Then on to Barrio Italia, where we did some exercises on the equipment in a park.

Snack: leftover seafood risotto (a choice one of us regretted that night) and the cherimoyas we'd bought in Valparaíso.

Yum Cha

We ended the night with a tasting menu at Yum Cha: seafood inspired by (appropriated from) the chef's travels through Europe, paired with wine and tea. An overall enjoyable meal.

Then an early night. I had a 5am flight to Montevideo.
