Exploring Valparaiso


Spent the day trekking around Valparaiso. Walked up some steep hill to the La Sebastian museum which had some cool paintings of Easter Island and a great view over town. Then explored further round the town. Saw the fernicular elevators that run up all the hills around the centre. Eventually figured out that half the streets on the map are actually not streets at all, but usually just a tiny staircase going down between buildings.

Finally also finished buying everything i need... including the electrical converter so i can charge my camera, and some cheap sunnies so i can see something again.

Off to Vina Del Mar tomorrow for the day to check out the beaches... but apparently the water is freezing.

Ole,
checked the place out with Google Maps - looks very steep with lots of mountains in the east. Great description - keep it up.
