We finally got to Viña del mar! everything from the moment I woke up has been gorgeous and perfect. I found SPF 50 sunblock (really do NOT need to tan!), navigated the subway system perfectly, managed to buy round trip bus tickets to Viña in Spanish, and enjoyed the mountains with quaint little valley towns throughout the two hour ride all before 2pm!
Our B&B where we were supposed to stay had a broken sink faucet, so we got upgraded to a better B&B which is just perfect in this little house on a very hilly location. Lucky us!
Vegetarian food is a challenge to find here, by the way! Enough to make me consider just eating chicken from now on. But I stayed strong, and finally found a place that had salads and vegetarian sandwiches – love how much palta (avocados) they use here!
We finally decided to walk to playa Acapulco (the nice beach) and it was heaven on earth! We found beach chairs and a huge umbrella and just lazed around for the afternoon. The sky is unbelievably blue – couldn’t see a single cloud!
It’s interesting to observe people here. The one thing I noticed is that the ladies don’t seem to attempt to have a stick thin body. And looking at the hills around this place and how much Khalia and I huffed and heaved to climb them, they must be really fit.
About to shower and relax for a while now.
¡Hasta Pronto!
