The sun was rising when I went up to the deck. Everything was in orange color… So, I am again in Valparaiso – legendary port well known from the times of the gold rush in California…
The city lies of the hills. At the end of 19th century they built a kind of lifts who take people from the lower level to the upper.
They work till now and for this reason UNESCO put Valparaiso to the World Heritage list.
I took a long walk from the harbor to the Plaze Sotomayor with the ornate Navy Building and the monument of the navy heroes. Then metro for just 1000 pesos (1USD=470 pesos) took me from Valparaiso to the resort town of Vina del Mar. Beaches, casino, villas of the rich people are located there. Vina is quite nice town vith horse carriages on the streets.
Why they asked us to be back aboard on 4.30 pm? The ship leaved port at 7 pm…. Why?
