The following day we took a 2 hour bus journey away to a neighbourhood called Valparaíso, known for colourful streets and ‘wall art’ (grafitti). It was literally everywhere, on every single building that you passed, it was covered in this beautiful street art.

We enjoyed wandering through the neighbourhood and then grabbed some typical Chilean lunch and had some ice cream in the sunshine. Their popular local food of choice is called empanadas, a pasty filled with either meat, cheese or anything that’s popular, although they don’t come close to a Gregg’s steak bake!

Later that night after returning to Santiago, there are a lot of busy, quirky areas, so we went to a popular area of town for some dinner and of course happy hour, which seemed to be all hour, every hour, everywhere you went, although, we weren’t complaining! After a few beers, wines and cocktails, we managed to make it back to the apartment for some decent sleep before another flight the following day.
