Valparaiso is ´the most interesting place in Chile´ (quote, unquote). OK so it´s got a few furnicular lifts and narrow streets but that is truely it. To be honest we´ve found it all a little threatening, scary looking blokes hiding behind every corner, we were warned not to take our camera out by the hostel we´re staying at etc etc... We also feel we´ve ´done´ the whole place in an afternoon, there´s only so many ´ascendures´ you can do without falling into a boredom induced coma. We are also starting to have a few language problems, in that everyone talks so bloody quickly. It´s hard going, wish I´d done Spanish not History for GCSE now... booked on an overnight bus to Chillán tomorrow - home of the ´best´market in Chile apparently...can´t wait.
