After the normal excessive paper work we got our rental car from AVIS. Rental cars in Chile are really expensive and for what we are paying for our shitty Hyundai Getz we would have gotten at least a Volvo V70 at home.
We headed straight to the coast and a city called Valporaiso. The city is built on hills and a nightmare to drive in but with a combination of a GPS equipped Nokia E71 and some sharp guiding skills by Ania we finally found our destination. We had booked a room at a cool place with a view from the terrass overlooking the massive harbour.
We had dinner at a nearby fish restaurant. The view was amazing and we watched trucks get loaded with containers and massive cranes moving heavy stuff during the meal. The food was decent but over priced and the place was a bit touristy.
We had been warned to stay out of the city center at night and to avoid stairs and since it was quite late when we had finished eating we just went for a short walk before heading back to the room.
Tomorrow we plan to do some quick city explorations before once again leaving civilization for something a bit more rocky. This time in slightly warmer climate though.
