Peru, Bolivia & Easter Island

Today’s the final day of our South American adventure. 😢

We had a day at leisure in Valparaiso, allowing us to explore the city on our own. We ambled through the historic area and worked our way downhill to the city square. We took the funicular back up, had lunch at a hillside café and then meandered through the streets some more.

For dinner we had a reservation at a restaurant for 7 pm. We followed the Google map directions and got to the restaurant about five minutes early. It appeared they were having a staff meeting even though we had a reservation for 7 pm. At 7:15 they led us to a table and we took a look at the menu and after receiving a glass of wine and ordering our appetizer realized we weren’t at the restaurant at which we had a reservation! It was hilarious. Regardless, the food was great and we had a lovely evening.

Tomorrow, we head to the airport and I fly via São Paulo back to Toronto. Brad flies to Osorno, Chile, where he joins a group for a motorcycle ride south through Patagonia to Ushuaia, Argentina and Punta Arenas, Chile. He will return home on March 19.

It’s been an unforgettable adventure and among our favourite trips ever.Read more
