Made it to Santiago! After a visit to Valparaiso, the cultural capital of Chile. It´s a picturesque town, with colourful houses perched atop rolling hills. And the ocean. Strolled along the cerros (hills) to one of Pablo Neruda´s many houses and to the open air museum, which I couldn´t seem to find. Only part-way did I realize it was all about the murals along the buildings. There are so many impressive murals on the walls in Valparaiso, I hadn´t realized the ones I´d walked past were part of the museum.
It rained in Santiago yesterday, but today it´s beautiful. Saved my trip up Cerro Cristobal for today, and it was glorious. Amazing views of the city with the snow-capped mountains beyond. Santiago is much more picturesque than I´d expected. It´s lovely.
