We didn't hurry out of the airport. Everything gets about 30 times as complicated when it's dark outside, and we couldn't check in to our hostel until the afternoon so we had breakfast at the airport, got all our stuff ready for the bus, and then took the Turbus to the bus terminal, bought tickets for the bus for Valparaiso - leaving in 4 minutes, great timing for once. Got on the bus - and fell asleep.
We woke up just when the bus entered
Valparaiso so we had time to get a first impression of the town. Seems nice here. As we got off the bus a nice lady offered us a taxi to our hostel for just about the same price as our ticket for the 1½ hours bus drive. Since the hostel was less than 3 kilometres away we went for the local train and paid a reasonable 700 Pesos - or around 1 USD for the two tickets and then made it to the hostel.
We got our room and went straight for a nap. Later in the afternoon we walked a bit around the neighbourhood, found a rooftop terrace and had a drink before dinner and beer at the
local brew pub. Not been here a day and we already like it.
