I have never been committed to blogging in my entire life before. I hope I'm not turning into one of those people who feel compelled to share every intimate detail of their mundane lives with all and sundry online. But I suppose this blog is as much to be a lasting memory for myself as it is to keep friends and family updated on my YOLO-trip, so probably I shouldn't worry that I'll suddenly turn into "one of them"! (If I do, you have my permission to shoot me when you see me next.)
I will revise my previous judgment that Nottingham has more going on downtown than Montevideo. Now I'd say it's about equal. Only difference is that almost all the commerce in central Montevideo takes place along one street, while as in Nottingham it's more spread out. Oh, and of course, the sun shines here!
I finally succeeded in booking my domestic Chilean flights as well. Goodness only knows how much I'll have to pay for the phone call to Chile, that'll be a surprise for when I check out tomorrow! But I reckon I'll still be up on the deal. The very lowest fares that made me salivate before the weekend were already gone today, but by booking the flights over the phone directly with Sky Airlines I paid a total of US$190 as opposed to the nearly US$391 on despegar.com or nearly US$600 that skyscanner.com had to offer! That covers two flights, from Punta Arenas to Puerto Montt and from Puerto Montt on to Santiago. Even if I had flown non-stop Punta Arenas-Santiago, it would have cost more to book online. Just goes to show what a little shopping around can save you, folks!
