Smooth flight, managed to nap a little. Magnificent views of snowcapped mountains coming into Santiago, including Aconcagua -an amazing sight
Able to share transport with Camerons down to Valparaiso. Nice drive
down, through countryside reminiscent of the Adelaide Plains market
gardens bowl in the Virginia area and vineyards not unlike
the McLaren Vale district.
Checked into hotel, on top floor with great views of the famous Valpo hills and coastline.
Went
for a short walk and had my first funicular railway ride. I wasn't too sure about it to start with, but enjoyed it. Valparaiso has 9 of the funicular railways still in
working order.
Had dinner at Cafe Turri which had great views of the coast
from it's hillside location in the suburban enclave of Concepcion. I ordered a lamb shank meal ,followed by a
dessert platter of icecream and sorbet! My appetite had well and truly returned! Time to put some weight back on...
