After a debate about what to do, our options are still to either head up the coast and chance it finding somewhere to say, or just do day trips from Vina. We actually got to a point of decideing and actually wrote a note for Gisela and Carlos say we would be off the next morning. We then of course changed our minds and removed the note to leave any difficult decision making to another time.

As the weather is still looking a little dodgy (I’m beginning to think the sun never shines in this damed country) so we have decided to head to Renaca and Concon for the day. These are supposedly smaller but still commercial town just a little bit up the coast.

So we get on the bus and head for Renaca. The bus is full of a load of other people looking attired for a day by the beach so we stay on the bus until they get off thinking they will know the best places. At Renaca they seem to stay on the bus, so we also stay on until Concon which seems like the place to be! We walk around a bit looking for a nice bit of beach and evently give up and head for the main beach which is pleasant enough although a little touristy/commercial, but at least the place is a lot smaller than Vina, AND the sun has at last come out!

In the evening we go to a rather nice little seafood restaurant that Gisela recommended called La Gagita (which means “kitten” for those that want to know, and proves that we do learn the odd word along the way). Whilst Ayfer is a little dissapointed that the Sea Bass is not available, she happily settles for a Sole, which is indeed a relief. We spend the meal still debating what we are going to do for the next couple of days and finally have reached the decision that we will head off for one night but keep the room in Vina. That way both options are covered.
