    This is my last day on holidays. What a shame. I first went to Cerro Santa Lucia and enjoyed the park in the middle of the city. I also got some last minute shopping squeezed in, and did manage to get on the funicular (tram) to the top of San Cristobal, and luckily the weather cleared up from a very smoggy morning!

The hostel looked out over an area called Patio Bellavista, which is essentially …
