Hey all, since Pucon we have taken a much more leisurely look at things. We travelled up to Valparaiso which is West of Santiago and the biggest port in Chile. It was a really bustling city which we learnt first hand by getting off the bus and walking straight into a huge fruit and veg market at 7:30 in the morning, we blended right in!

We stayed four nights at Millenium House hostel which was right on harbourside. We spent the next few days travelling up the coast to Vina Del Mar ( which is a pretty seaside resort town) and Concon (which is an even smaller fishing town). We watched the local fisherman get hounded by the huge pelicans and sampled the daily catch at an awesome restaurant in Vina Del Mar just off the beach.

That was pretty much it until we caught another bus to Mendoza back in Argentina.
