Impressions of Valparaiso

Valparaiso is a port city and, yet again, we saw virtually nothing of other than the port itself and that was less than beautiful but ports rarely are. As far as I could see, Valparaiso was someplace to pass through but that could well be totally unfair.  In fact, our friend, Gisela, had coincidentally visited Valparaiso at about the same time and she said she loved it so I'm sure we missed out.  One interesting thing I spotted from our balcony was a funicular leading from the dock area to a much higher plateau. That might have been an interesting thing to do if we'd had time.
