Santiago Chile Day 6-Dec 14 13

 

Saturday morning in Santiago like a Sunday at home…..most stores closed for the day except the large 7 story mall down the street. I had dinner there tonight on the 7th floor Cafeteria. Take Georgian Mall and make it 7 stories…….the Christmas tree is that tall.

After a light breakfast, we headed out for a walk to find some bolts to attach the bike plates. Antonio was anxious to try out his bike on some quite back streets……I decided against this as we still require insurance.As it turned out after applying the plate, Antonio’s bike battery was lifeless and the kick start no better. Called the Dealer, but they closed at 2 pm. On Monday Antonio’s bike will need to be picked up by the dealer. My bike started ok…..the batteries are a known problem but maybe as it came straight of the truck his battery was low out the door. So insurance on Monday and bike repairs. Unable to apply for homoglacion papers until Wednesday.
