Mar 10 Amazing Valparaiso

Here you order breakfast the night before so get what you want. It’s huge, far too much but a good start to our day. There are only 4 others here so it’s quiet. We borrow the metro card from our host and take the train into downtown Valparaiso. We check out the hotel we are booked to stay in at the end of March for Semana Santa (Easter.) WE also rebook at Viña Del Mar and have choices now.
  Intending to join a walking tour we find we missed the start so do our own. It’s a fascinating city of steep cobbled streets, alleys, staircases and amazing street art that blows your mind. 
  About 4pm we find a roof patio on a small resto and enjoy beers and smoked salmon sandwiches. 
  Back on the train to Viña, I collapse for R&R and Ted, as is his way, is off to wander the streets around our hotel some more. We will return to Valparaiso at the end of the month and have more things on our list to do here.
