(IQQ) General strike

Unfortunately no paragliding: not enough wind and/ or wrong direction. But it didn't matter much, as I still felt the effects of my 30+ hour trip...

IQQ at sunrise (seen from my room)
this would be the perfect LZ, just steps from my hotel. But I haven't found out yet, how to get out... (view from the resaturant on the 19th floor)

General strike for 2 days :-(  In the morning a peaceful demonstration by a couple of hundert protesters. Most others seemed to prefer a quite day on the beach...


...in the early evening some riots by a few handful of hooligans. Most Chileans tried to avoid the skirmishes. I could not see any support for those 'acts'. Quiet night (at least around here...)


The whole day long I tried to organize something for the next 2 days: a trip up to the desert or so. But at such short notice all operators I have been able to contact where already busy or couldn't be reached -probably due to the strike :-(
