By Anna32 , January 10, in Silversea. We are currently on the Cloud in Antarctica. Since the complimentary internet package provided by Silversea is very stable, I am happy to share our updates on here, in case anyone is interested. Bit of a backlog, so the first posts will be coming quickly now. Wow, dear co-travellers. Just wow.
But let me start at the beginning. Fortunately, no need to stress, as we originally had a five-hour layover. Still plenty of time to enjoy the very empty lounge in Madrid. As soon as the gate was shown, we went there, as the Iberia check-in had been unable to print our boarding passes for the flight to Santiago de Chile.
The gate agent not only kindly did that for us, but also made sure that our checked luggage was en route and safe. After that, we were immediately able to board the Latam Dreamliner. Everything was on time, and soon after we were airborne. Nice popcorn movie, but I seem to be getting too old for this kind of entertainment.
Soon after, it was snooze time. I was able to get a good five hours of sleep in. After watching some sitcoms, I even managed another 90 minutes of napping, and woke up in time for breakfast. Before we knew it, we were touching down in Santiago de Chile. Immigration took around 45 minutes, but the queue was moving quickly. In the baggage area, the first thing I saw was my Bumblebee you guessed it, the big yellow one.
We quickly had to fill an agricultural form, and off we went. The official taxi charged a fixed fee of Silversea had kindly booked us in the very posh Mandarin Oriental Santiago.
