Walk<\/h4>\n

\"\"Today we, Sandy, Ada and I, want to walk to Laguna Verde, a 12 kilometer walk. We start by going uphill and keep to the main roads.<\/p>\n

At some point I walk behind a guardrail and a guy runs to me from the street, grabs my necklace, rips it of my neck and runs to a car that is waiting for him. That I got robbed is bad, but the necklace was from my grandmother and is irreplaceable. FUCK!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"We continue our walk because there is nothing else to do. When we are two streets further a man from a minimarket shouts to us to get our attention. He tells us that it is not safe to go further up. If we continue we will probably be robbed of all our possessions.<\/p>\n

\"\"Change of plans, we walk downhill a go to Cerro Alegre, one of the most touristic zones of Valparaiso, a neighborhood with lots of color, where we have a beer. From there we walk to the Piano steps and Cerro Conception where we have a very nice view on the lower part of the city and the harbor. In fact when we look down, we are directly above the Valpara\u00edso Beer House.<\/p>\n

In the distance I see a graveyard and we find our way there. There are 3 graveyards here, Cementerio N\u00b0 1 de Valpara\u00edso, Cementerio N\u00b0 2 de Valpara\u00edso and in the middle Cementerio de Disidentes. The last one is open and we walk along the old graves. Most of the graves and the graveyard in general could use some maintenance.<\/p>\n

\"\"The other graveyards are closed so we decide to find our way downhill to have something to drink at the Valpara\u00edso Beer House. We find some very narrow stairs down and we descend to ocean level. The stairs are probably not meant for tourists like us but the gate at the bottom can be opened, so we don’t need to go back up.<\/p>\n

\"\"After our pause we go to the harbor and from there we walk along the coast, or rather the harbor, to Playa San Mateo where we find nice views over the ocean and the coast line. We go back the same way we came and finish the day in a Chinese restaurant where we have a good meal.<\/p>\n

Weather<\/h4>\n

Today was colder than yesterday, mainly because it was cloudy all day. It was dry and only at the beginning and the end of the day we needed our jackets.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t
