Valparaiso - April 2002
I met fellow travel addict Matt at my sisters wedding over a year ago and we finally met up again when he turned up in Santiago at the beginning of April, starting out on a tramp around South America.

A trip to Valparaiso was in order, and after initial bad feelings about the saftey of the place when we arrived late Friday night, I think we all agree its a very special and charming place.

Valparaiso is definitely a bit dodgy in places.

... but the views from the 12 hills it is built on are simply awsome

A little of the mood of Valparaiso. We are looking forward to seeing Matts pics though. We are hopefull that his skills with the camera will have captured the very special atmosphere.

Wolves of the sea A different kind of trip to a different kind of town. First impressions were quickly demolished like the inside of this building where we had mad a 'stop off' on the previous evening. I look forward to returning to Valparaiso.
