Neil's Round the World Trip!
Today me, Shaun (guy from Winchester), Katie, Bridget and Karen got a bus to the nearby city of Valparaiso. The coach was really comfortable and we got therein just over an hour. We passed through some fantastic scenery; vineyards and forests.
We arrived and sat in Plaza O'Higgins, we walked along the main street and bought some churros from street vendors. It was sugary and greasy but good.
We walked up the cobbled streets past colourful but delapidated houses. There was loads of graffiti, some of it was quite funny. Today is Easter Friday so everywhere is shut apart from restaurants. We continued walking up the hill and chatted to some street kids who had a guy (we think is meant to be Jesus). We then used one of the funicular carts to get down to another street. These funiculars are everywhere as the city was built on so many hills. We found a great, bohemian, arty cafe called Colour Cafe. It was really nice inside with ballet shoes and lots of other random stuff hanging from the walls. We had Spinach Tortillas. We chilled out for a while and then got our bus back to Santiago. Ben has arrived in the city and checked into my hostel. I chatted to him, Tommy and the others in the kitchen and we ordered Dominoes Pizza.
I was going to have a power nap and then go to an indie club with Tommy but I never woke up...
