Day 11 Wednesday 23 November 2016
Vina Del Mar, Argentina
Rest day today so the car park is a hive of activity. Most relaxed in the hotel overlooking the Pacific Ocean and watching large birds sit on rocks and dive for fish. Others took the tour into Valparaiso. One of our Australian contingent was robbed in broad daylight. A youth in a hoodie grabbed her handbag which was across her shoulder and chest, resulting in bruising and shock.
Many of the buildings in Valparaiso were severely damaged in the 2010 earthquake and many have not been rebuilt for lack of funds. Interesting to see an original Easter Island statue outside a museum, which was brought over in 1951.
Dinner on rest days is not supplied so a group of 6 of us had delicious fish dinners at a restaurant called Terra del Fuego.
The dust and rough roads are playing havoc with all our electronics. The computer will not do certain functions so excuse the weird errors. Zips are jamming, cameras are doing strange things.
