Valparaiso, Chile
Chile has an amazing bus system, so we figured out how to take a bus an hour away to the seaside town of Valparaiso.
If Buenos Aires was the land where safety is "meh", Chile is the opposite. The bus gave the passengers a constant read out of the drivers speed, which would start beeping if he went over 100 kmph. Your seatback said let the driver know to slow down if he goes over that.
Valparaiso is an amazing UNESCO world heritage site, with colorful painted houses lining the old blocks.
It had steep hills and reminded me of Pittsburgh, if Pittsburgh had good weather and a seaside view.
In fact, it even had inclines (funiculars) like Pittsburgh!
Now here's a bunch of Valparaiso porn.
Our hotel was an old mansion.
We also went to neighboring Vina del Mar the next day, but it was pretty lame. Their highlight was this clock of flowers (reloj de flores).
