2017-04-18 Day 2

A drive into Valparaiso to do a last minute shop. We had noticed a gas station near by and thought it would be a safe place to park. However the gas station, empty over the weekend, was mainly a car park and full. But on chatting to the attendant and boss, who had some English, John was able to park at the bowser and await me.

A quick pack of cold things into the fridge, then a drive out of town. John had chosen the route while I was shopping.  Up ,up, up & up we went on very narrow streets. We headed for a nearby lighthouse which we found unaccessible beyond a locked gate, so found a place in the trees with a small ocean view.

We had the late afternoon and evening to reacquaint ourselves with all we had packed on board the Earth Cruiser early February. We also needed to find space for all the food we had just bought and our packs we had lived out of for the last 6 weeks.
