There were a lot of strange goings on in our hotel. When we were on the Big Red Bus we passed it and there were police blocking off the road and lots of security, flashing blue lights and police escort motorbikes.
Then when we got back, there were about 30 photographers outside. We spilled out of our taxi and asked the doorman what on earth was going on. Turns out Dad was not the only 'famous' person at the hotel. We had the President of Chile and Katie Perry and her boyfriend Russell Bland staying also although not all in the same room I am sure.
Now that explained all the kerfuffle. I wanted to meet Katie Perry. I was even going to tell her that I too was a Canadian in the hope I would get a kiss and that she would like it. Alas it was not to be. She was hiding out before she headed to India to get married.
We did see the Prez of Chile though. Dad said his football team were exciting at the world cup and that he was trying to be a bit like Margaret Thatcher and get his workers out the mines. He was a nice man. We saw him at breakfast and later that day he was on TV as he met the Queen. How cool was that? When we saw him he smiled nicely so we think Chile is a good place to go to and will put it on our list next time.
