Arty, crafty Valparaiso

We woke up on the bus to some lovely Chilean coastal scenery. At first I was reminded of Margaret River - rolling hills covered in wild flowers, breaking surf and rocky beaches - but as we got closer to Valparaiso, it became greener and there were more farms and towns. Valparaiso was lovely - I've never been to San Francisco but I imagine V is a poorer version. The hills, the wooden houses, the cafes and the unique shops and galleries remind me of Paddington (QLD). We had a nice break here, wandering around finding local restaurants and good coffee and just enjoying sea air, nice weather and great views.

Street art everywhere
Ugly port but still nice to sit and watch the boats come and go
Cute houses
A flat white - excitement
My new favourite - pastel de choclo and Trolley beer at Pimenton
