After a sad farewell to our friends at Ritoque, we headed south to the portside city of Valparaiso. Previously a merchant port, the city is built back on to a hill in an amazing, rickety sort of way.
So we set ourselves up for a few days of chilling in Chile for our xmas away from home.
Highlights
- Xmas eve dinner with our adopted family at our hostel. Everyone made a dish from their country and we had feasted for hours. There was a slight hiccup with ours though when we were making gem´s mums signature potato bake and realized gem had bought apricot yoghurt instead of cream! As if the picture of fruit on the front didn´t give it away but luckily we were saved by our amigos at the hostel.
- Our very own Chilean history lesson from our new Chilean friend Hoarhe
Lowlights
- Evil delicious snack dulce de leche. This is a mixture between condensed milk and caramel and belongs in lowlights as it is sooo good that it is going to be our downfall as we cannot stop eating it
