Valparaiso - The Cultural Capital of Chile

---

Friday 25/05 we had first night out on the town. We hit the bars with our Spanish School classmates and scored $5 cocktails (the traditional Pisco Sour), giant beers and hmmm, interesting tapas enjoyed with classic eighties tunes.

The following day, sore heads in tow, we found something worth crossing the Pacific for! We spent two days with our German housemate Julia exploring the maze-like hills of Valparaiso and it´s beachside cousin, Viña del Mar. Valpo is a gorgeous port city perched on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Many of the houses date back hundreds of years and most are painted in bright colours, the streets wind up the hill forever so our walks around town were a great preparation for the long walks to come!

So after two weeks in Chile we passed our exam and are ready to move on.

Memorable moment: Pommy git in our class not knowing where sushi was from.
Best meal: seafood lunch in the market

This is the typìcal food in Chile, a Chacadero. I think it translates to fat ball.

Cazz n Julia with more cheesy delicacies.
