Valparaiso

Our first stop on the coast was Valparaiso, a town with multicoloured houses clinging to the cliffs and lifts taking people up and down.

There is an open air art gallery with art work on the walls of houses. There was some excellent graffiti too. We enjoyed sea food and took advantage of the bars and clubs. Billy's favourite was a rock bar which played really cheesy old stuff, lots of Guns and Roses and Skid Row. I reckon he is a closet mosher.

We stayed at a boarding house with a German/Chilean couple, two kids and two dogs. They made us feel really welcome, made us lots of tea, prepared us a feast of a breakfast and we sat in their living room with them drinking beer. They even took us through their German punk rock collection one night.

We hope all is well in England.

P.S. (Billy writing this bit) - while Soph was writing this post, I was phoning people and managed to phone Jarrod whilst he was on Medz's stag do in Barcelona, he was having to lie down in his hotel room at 7:45 on Saturday night as he was that bladdered, amazing!!! Jarrod if you are reading this - I hope you managed to get back on it.
