We booked a tour to the coast but it turned out that we booked a personal driver and a tour guide because it is off season and there are not many tourists here. Tourists should come here at this slower time of year with the weather 15-20C and clear skies.
Valparaiso is the "jewel of Chile" our tour guide Renaldo told us. The country's main port city, declared a world heritage site, is the seat of the Chilean Congress. Interesting, but Vina del Mar is where the money and beaches are. We watched "sea wolves" climb up the steep rocks above Vina del Mar's crashing waves. No swimming here. Want to see an Easter Island Maoi? Just go to Vina del Mar to find one of three statues situated off of Easter Island yet still in Chile. We're getting brave now and have reserved a car to drive ourselves north to La Serena tomorrow. We are thinking of staying 5 days. We may or may not have internet, so will post when possible.
Did the Easter Island guy say "got gum dum dum"? Ok I guess you would have to watch Night at the Museum to get that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy La Serena and all it's fun as much as I did!
Hello Dave and Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that you guys are having a lot of fun. Too bad they took all Dave's booze money when you landed. And here we sit in our trailer with no house, no permit, no place to go so we just sit here and drink.
Kim: Just wondering how "Eight Finger" is doing with his hand?
