Great morning tour of Valparaiso and Vina del Mar by Oswaldo! Valparaiso is built on 43 hills.
Arrived at the pier as requested at 1pm. What a MESS! NO organization! Staggered boarding failed miserably. Not enough wheelchairs, wishing we had my camp chair! Finally got a chair, checked in and on the bus to th ship. Again had to wait for a chair, but at least this time there was a place to sit in the shade while we waited. Usual confusion & orientation. Dinner (no charge at Crown Grill steak house at 6:30 after the lifeboat drill. Finished at 8:15 - TIRED!!! Hot stone massage, back in the room by 11. Watched Greek Wed all night. My back was really hurting after 3 days of travelling. Nice to finally get to unpack for the next month!
Our suite is really nice. Twice as large as the usual mini-suite we get but the other amenities make it worth the bucks. Walk in shower with a good sitting bench. Canapes & champagne the first night. Our laundry will be done for free, too! We have plenty of room to store our 33 days worth of "stuff"
