Valparaiso

Over in Valparaiso now on the coast. Got the bus from Pajaritos straight over which was actually comfortable - a nice change after the busses in Asia. Was a nice 2hr drive through the vineyards. Valpo is interesting with the bright coloured houses going up the hills until they disappear in the clouds. Staying at the YoYo Hostel close to the centre of town. Plan to stay here for 3 nights to have some time to explore town, and nearby Vina del Mar which has usable beaches (its all ports and naval installations along the foreshores here).
