Spent the day in seaside holiday town, Vina del Mar, a 15-minute bus ride from Valaparaiso. The weather was beautiful and we spent a couple of hours chilling out on the beach, surrounded by stray but friendly Chilean hounds (they are everywhere in Chile / Argentina and Gemma has made friends with approximately 98.8% of them) and seaweed that resembled massive rubber cables?!
Feeling culturally starved we headed to the Fonck Museum, which houses various artefacts from Easter Island and other early civilisations (including the Mapuche from the southern tip of South America). It also included one of the original stone heads (or moai) from the island. That's almost as good as going to the place itself, right? Good.
