We navigate through the city's steep hills using its iconic ascensores (funiculars), providing us an authentic local experience. Join us as we visit Sero Alegre (Happy Hill), explore colorful streets, and uncover the rich culture and artistic heritage of Valparaiso. We delve into the city's renowned street art scene, showcasing stunning graffiti and murals that bring the city's walls to life.
Our journey in Valparaiso is a blend of historical exploration and modern-day adventure. Experience the unique architecture, enjoy local cuisine, and get a glimpse of daily life in this vibrant coastal city. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or planning your next vacation, this episode is a must-watch for anyone looking to experience the soul of Chile.

    We are looking at many days at sea from L.A. to Hawaii and then on down to the south pacific and plan to do more "on the ship" and "back story" about us then.

    Through your videos, Bob Allen’s videos and the empty nester videos. I am getting to experience something I never would be able to. Please keep up the good work. You were blessed to be able to take this cruise, but even more blessed because you are sharing it. The street art is wonderful. More city should do this because research shows that it cuts down on graffiti or tagging people respect the work of an artist.

    There are ATM's at most cruise port terminals. We haven't needed to use it. Most places take USD, we always ask but to get the best exchange rates it is best to find a Money Exchange house in the city and compare rates. Most vendors and restaurants take debit/credit cards but vendors on the street on at outdoor markets like local currency.

    I felt like I was walking the streets with you guys. I appreciate that you aren't 'with the crowd' kind of travelers and like to do your own thing. Another question for you. What editing software do you use for your videos or is it all done 'in camera.?' Also, do you upload to KZread on the ship or use the internet when you get to a port? Just curious. I know it takes a lot of work but at day 18 you still look like you are having fun. Nice haircut by the way.

    Most countries and restaurants take debit/credit cards which is nice if we don't have the currency. We use Uber off the ship if we don't have the local currency for a taxi. We find it is better to use their local currency especially for exchange rates.

    I really enjoy your videos, especially your maps and graphics but I have to say, I would have just given the cab driver the $10. The average Valparaiso cab driver makes about $500 American dollars a month. You are on a world cruise that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars... I think you could spare a fiver.
