I woke up today and had to pack my bags as I’m leaving. All I’ll really be doing today is traveling. Once I got ready and checked out I had plenty of time left before heading back to the airport so I went into town one last time. I walked down to the post office where I had read I could get my passport stamped but found out they don’t do it there anymore. The new place is located at the Sernatur tourist office which is on the other side of the football stadium from the post office.

After I got my moai stamp I went to grab breakfast at the place I should’ve gone yesterday, Tiare Coffee. I didn’t want to take too long so I just quickly ordered some coffee and eggs. The food was good and I was happy to leave my last place here on a good note. Before going to the hotel, I went back to the harbor one last time to see the sights and take some pics. In the water I saw another turtle and watched it swim around for a bit. That too was a good note to end on and I headed back to the hotel. I waited there for a bit before the owner took me to the airport.

At the airport I got in line to check in and waited. The line didn’t move for a while but once the departure time got closer we started and it went quick. After I checked my bag I went to bar and tried another local beer. They opened security and I went through. On the other side I went back to the bar which is divided and ordered a sandwich. The bar was backed up and by the time I got my order the plane was already boarding so I had to hightail it out there.

I wasn’t the last one to board but once everyone was on the plane we finally got on our way and a few minutes early of the 14:55 departure time in fact. The flight back to the continent was obviously on a tailwind because it took about an hour less than the flight out did. The flight while long went by relatively quickly as I watched some movies. We arrived back into Santiago a few minutes before our scheduled time of 21:35.

I made my way through the airport and got my bag. Then I grabbed a shuttle back to the same hotel I stayed at last time and checked into my room. I watched a little TV before hitting the rack.
