Hey all,
We decided to ceck out the costal city where the English settled, Valparaiso. The place everyone recommend to go for taking photos and looking at street-art. It does have plenty of amazing photo opportunities and I Bet a person with photo skills would have such a great time in this town. Here are a few of my pics. 
So now I would like to tell you how our day really was as it turns out photos can lie. We visited Valparaiso on the 21 st May, and I recommend you NOT to visit on that date! We arrived after 90 minutes bua ride from Santiago. Several of the streets were closed and armed army forces was at every corner. As we walk towards the meeting point for a walking tour of the city, we see people protesting in the streets. As we work oyr way through closed street we conclude that the tour must be canceled as the meeting point was busy with guards getting ready for a parade. So we walk the streets alone to check it out and found the places we went to be dirty and feeling unsafe.
I also found the secret to all the pretty photos have chosen to zoom out the dirr, rubbish and electrical cables.
When we went for lunch we saw the news that the demonstration that was only a short wall away from us had gone wild. A house was set on fire , thwy had broken into stores and one person had died in hospital. Scared we decided to go up the hills again for further photos before heading off earlier than we originally thought.
Write soon
Xo
