1 October 2019 - Day 40 - Santiago to Valparaiso

VLOG 302

A rainy Tuesday morning we pack our bags once again and head west to the coastal port city of Valparaiso!! 🚢 🎨

Just a short 1.5 hour bus ride away we escape the wet weather and enter the sunny bustling city and check into our hostel. With the main tourist part of town a good 2km away I decide to take a local bus to one of the main tourist hills - Cerro Alegre. Just before reaching the destination the bus decided to turn and headed up the hill - a place where tourists are cautioned even during the day in some areas!! 🚌🙅🏽‍♂️🙅🏽‍♂️

I anxiously wait and track the bus on my GPS as it went further and further up through the narrow local streets and shanti houses. About 30 mins into the bus ride I was nearly at the very top until I knew it wasn’t coming back down 😰😰. I confirmed with my the bus driver with a lot of arm waving and pointing at the GPS and fortunately he hailed another bus going the other direction and told me to go in that. You would believe the relief I felt as the bus made its way down back down!! 🏚🏚🙏🏽

I made it to my original destination safely but not before heading back up a little to an awesome viewpoint I saw on the way up. I will admit I was a little nervous, but no good adventure comes without uncertainly and a little risk. The little bus ride to where very few tourist reach and this viewpoint made for one nervous but exciting afternoon and paid off as I took Mav out for an awesome view of the city!! 🚁🏘🏡🏘
