Puerto Natales

After two days of travel with long layovers in Panama City and Santiago, I finally arrived in Puerto Natales. The airport is tiny. All I could see from the plane’s window was a brush covered valley with mountains on either side as the planes touched the ground. Eventually the plane came to a stop in front of a small building with tarmac steps that would be rolled out for us to exit the plane.  Once off the plane and in the building, I purchased a bus ticket and waited for my luggage.  It was about a ten minute bus ride to my hotel

I got to the hotel around noon but my room would not be ready until 3:00 so, I just walked around the streets for awhile.  This was Christmas Day so, not much was open. I eventually found a place to get a hamburger, then walked around a little more.
