Punta Natales doesn't have alot to offer, it's a gateway town, made up of hostels, restuarants and over priced camping shops, but we made the most of it as our bus didn't leave until 1pm. We had a look at the sea front, the church and square, before giving up and retreating for a hot chocolate and wi-fi connection for doing my blog! We did find some interesting art work on one of the streets, telling the history of the local tribal people.
At 1pm we caught our public bus for the return 3 hour trip back to the airport at Punta Arenas. Here we had a short wait before the 3 hour flight back to Santiago. By the time we got our bags and got to the hotel it was close to 11pm.
As this was the last time the group would be together we gathered for a drink and a last meal. We gave our thanks and a generous tip to Emi for all his excellent guiding and making sure the trip went smoothly. No mean feet when you look at the amount of public transport and flights we took on the trip, with the potential for all manner of things to go wrong.
We said our good byes to the people that were flying to Easter Island early the following morning and then retired for a well earnt nights sleep, without a wake up call planned!
