Day 31: Vina Del Mar
After a great evening at the Sheraton with our new friends, Dave and I woke to a beautiful balcony view of the ocean and the Mariner docked in Valparaiso. We met George and Sue for breakfast at the hotel, and then headed out for a walk to take photos and enjoy the warm weather, a welcome change after the chilly days of Cape Horn. We walked on the beach beside the hotel and I wet my feet in the ocean, just to say that I had been there.
We met George and Sue for lunch and walked to the restaurant Castillo Del Mar for a delicious meal of fresh fish, a species known as Conger , native only to Chile, and washed down with a Cristal beer. After a few last photos it was time to head for the Mariner and the start of the final leg of our journey, the 16-night sailing to Los Angeles, California. Check-in was quick and painless, and before long we were settled in our cabin and ready for the days ahead. Dave and I spent the evening with Hornblower friends, a chance for him to get acquainted with all of the great people I with whom I have spent the last 30 days.
