We returned our car in Temuco and then took an overnight bus (with business class like seats!) to Santiago, where we met up with our Chilean friends for breakfast and got the key for their apartment in Valparaiso, which they kindly offered to us, and then headed on to said paradise valley.<\/p>\n

After checking into the lovely little apartment up the hill, we joined a guided city tour, where we learned that Valparaiso was never officially founded and is a city spread out over 42 different hills with significantly differing architectures, connected by funiculars, with a strong culture of (beautiful!) graffiti all over the city. Also an old couple spontaneously invited us into their home to show us the amazing view over the city…<\/p>\n

The next day, we headed north along the coast to Zapallar to see Kata’s granddad’s nephew Uffe who is living in Santiago for a long time and who was on vacation there. We stayed with him and a friend for a night, took a long awaited swim in the Pacific (16 degrees cold!), and enjoyed perfectly grilled pork ribs together with the amazing view over the bay.<\/p>\n

Then we took another bus back to Santiago where we met up with, Tibault, a friend of Kata’s who is living there for about a year, whom she knows from her studies abroad in Grenoble. He showed us around in the city and lead us to the top of the highest building in South America, the Sky Tower.<\/p>\n

Wir brachten unser Auto in Temuco zur\u00fcck und nahmen dann einen \u00dcbernachtbus (mit Business Class \u00e4hnlichen Sitzen!) nach Santiago, wo wir uns mit unseren chilenischen Freunden zum Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck trafen und den Schl\u00fcssel f\u00fcr ihre Wohnung in Valparaiso bekamen, die sie uns freundlicherweise anboten, und dann weiter ins Paradiestal fuhren.<\/p>\n

Nachdem wir in die sch\u00f6ne kleine Wohnung auf dem H\u00fcgel eingecheckt hatten, nahmen wir an einer gef\u00fchrten Stadtrundfahrt teil, bei der wir erfuhren, dass Valparaiso nie offiziell gegr\u00fcndet wurde und eine Stadt ist, die auf 42 verschiedenen H\u00fcgeln mit stark unterschiedlichen Architekturen liegt, die durch Standseilbahnen mit einer starken Kultur von (sch\u00f6nen!) Graffitis in der ganzen Stadt verbunden ist. Auch ein altes Paar hat uns spontan in ihr Haus eingeladen, um den fantastischen Blick \u00fcber die Stadt zu zeigen…..<\/p>\n

Am n\u00e4chsten Tag machten wir uns auf den Weg nach Norden an die K\u00fcste nach Zapallar, um mit Kata’s Gro\u00dfvaterneffen Ulf zu sprechen, der lange Zeit in Santiago lebt und dort im Urlaub war. Wir blieben eine Nacht bei ihm und einem Freund, schwammen im Pazifik (16 Grad kalt!) und genossen perfekt gegrillte Schweinerippchen zusammen mit dem herrlichen Blick \u00fcber die Bucht.<\/p>\n

Dann nahmen wir einen weiteren Bus zur\u00fcck nach Santiago, wo wir uns mit Tibault trafen, einem Freund von Kata, der seit etwa einem Jahr dort lebt und den sie von ihrem Auslandsstudium in Grenoble kennt. Er f\u00fchrte uns durch die Stadt und f\u00fchrte uns zur Spitze des h\u00f6chsten Geb\u00e4udes S\u00fcdamerikas, dem Sky Tower.<\/p>\n
