Have left Santiago for little known place called Curico, the attracting factor being good guide book review and a national park nearby with geographical weirdness to offer.
Curico
Reach Curico and it seems like a shit place to stay.
Maybe its because it’s Sunday.
Guidebook
Maybe it’s the guidebook.
Guidebook writers get handed research.
When you turn up at places like this expecting a good time, it makes you think.
Real
Anyway, it is shit.
I get the next bus out to Talca.
Here I can hire a car, be myself and feel real.
