Well......its not over till the fat lady sings!!!!!!.....
I should be at this moment somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean heading back towards Europe........but I'm not!!!!!
I'm in the Sheraton Santiago having a mojito by the pool sending you this blog courtesy of the biggest dim wits ever...IBERIA!!!!!!!!!!........
Back to this morning when I arrived at Santiago airport to check in for my flight to Madrid........huge queues!...but I had printed all my boarding passes and checked in online last night....so I demanded to drop my bags off and continue through to the gate.......no way ......the flight was delayed 12 hours!!!!!!........I went beserk at Iberia....called them the most incompetent airline I had ever the missfortune of using.....I said that I would not stay in the airport for all that time and as the flight was delayed more than four hours, they had to look after my rights......to my surprise the guy agreed......and said he would send me to the Sheraton Santiago where I would have a room with lunch and dinner.......thats a bit more like it I thought.....but then when he tried to change my onward flights to London and Newcastle, he said that they could not do it on
Monday but it would have to be Tuesday......so they would put me up in a hotel in Madrid overnight, with meals etc........I then asked about compensation......missed business etc.....and was told that I can claim through Iberia Madrid......life is tough!!!!
So there we go a surprise extension to what has been a wonderfull trip......you get to see some images I made in Valparaiso yesterday!
I think thats it for now.......see you all soon,
adios....for the last time...I think.........
