Crown Royal Hotel Vina del Mar

Caught a bus 20 minutes away from Valparaiso to Viña Del Mar. On a beach covered in luxury apartments, looking at Valparaiso situated on the hills. An awesome place for the rich, and everyone here is really sexy for some reason. Walked along the beach and past the 5000 people ...

... D tek kad sam pojela do kraja, pitali su me znam li sto je to (ja bila uvjerena da jedem spinat).

... I met many new people. I was greeted with so many kisses on the cheek and quick conversations. So many, that there's no way I could tell you all their names. These friends were all around the same age as Pablo, Jenny, and I. Margarita and Oscar (papa) came to pick me up, (I think) so Pablo didn't have to drive me all the way back home.

Today (Sunday June 28), I slept in until 11 AM as did the rest of the family. I didn't want to get ...

... Giant Petrel (the bird you see eating penguins on Antarctic documentaries) was also a good sighting. However, the favourite birds seen were Peruvian Diving-Petrels and Juan Fernandez Petrel...both devilishly difficult to photograph due to their high speeds and the swell of the ocean. On the way back in to dock a lone Humboldt Penguin and 3 species of cormorant were found, but unfortunately there was no ...

... he know? These guys are sneaky here! He didn't speak much English, but kept telling me to get in his car and when I refused, he kept telling me it was OK!" Needless to say, I laughed my ass off! But this could've had a terrible ending - I could have been leaving the guest house, only to find Carlos crawling back to the house, with a pen sticking out the side of his neck ... What a story to tell! This is the real reason I travel - not to ...

... that there was no way I would get to Valpo on this bus, so I considered walking back to the earlier bus stop and seeing if they had any more buses today. But I decided instead to sit down, calm down, and figure out what to do in the event of not making it there tonight. I ended up chatting with some local guy for a bit, who was also getting concerned that his bus hadn't arrived yet. But within 20 minutes, the Valpo bus finally arrived. If I had ...

... which is all downhill from where we were staying. We stop for a quick late lunch and we had completos (hot dog with lotsa other stuffs..). We then went towards the port and walked for quite a while along the coast. On the way, we ...

... buildings Armada de Chile building FACTS: Valparaíso is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is vulnerable to earthquakes (last major earthquake devastated the city in 1906).

... short low cut dresses into which had been poured ladies that were frankly a little on the, lots of them, side for the dresses. Trinny and Susanah would have a field day out there. In a further random act of randomness, um acting, we were lucky enough to be wandering through one of the plazas during the middle of a National day of Dance ...

... en medio de Anticuchos, que es en pocas palabras un pincho o chuzo con carne de res, pollo y chorizo. Como bebida se puede probar Cola de Mono que es una mezcla de café, aguardiente y leche y es preparado caseramente, la chicha a base de caña de azúcar y el tradicional y típico Pisco Sour el cual se disputan su origen los chilenos y peruanos. En la Ramada muchos se visten con sus trajes típicos, hay fondas donde ofrecen todo el show completo con ...
