Viña del Mar and Valparaiso

Today I went on a tour to see two coastal towns in Chile. Valparaiso was the first one, a strange town with houses built quite higgeldy piggeldy, seemingly piled on top of each other up steep hills. There were a number of 'funiculators', like elevators that went diagonally up hills. The houses were brightly coloured but I couldn´t detect a particular colour scheme. The next town was called Viña del Mar, apparently THE holiday destination for Chileans and others during summer. Unfortunately my camera is out of battery and I didn´t bring an adaptor for Chile, so this will be my last post with photos probably until after the 17th of May, when I will be in Peru.

This is why they need the elevator type creations...
