We are feeling very intrepid today having made our own way on foot with packs and kids in strollers to the Metro which we rode to the Bus Station. We caught a bus to Vallapairaso which I have probably spelt wrong but have to type quick while Paul is reading the boys some books. It was a comfy two hour bus trip and upon disembarking we were greeted by a huddle of touts wanting to recommend accomodation. I had booked a room for us out of the Lonley Planet but before we knew it we were being swept away to see a cheap room by one of the touts. Half way there we decided to go with our original booking and caught a taxi. Glad we did because the house the tout was taking us to was miles out of the tourist centre which was why it was cheap. Our guest house is gorgeous as is Vallapairaso. Our room has heavy wooden timber boards and is huge with four beds in it and a sea view. There is a shared bathroom but it is clean and we get breakfast. Oh yes speaking of breakfast I dont know what was going on at that last place because this morning we all got rolls and only one piece of cheese between us. The boys have been grotty today as they were bopping around our room last night until 10.00pm and were up at 8.00am. It is now 5.30pm and we have bathed them so should be winding down for sleep now. As I said the floors in our room are wooden so I hope they settle down tonight because it sounds like a herd of wilderbeast are running around up there when you sit downstairs. The little we have seen this afternoon of the city looks fabulous. Cobbled winding lanes with brightly painted houses all tumbling down the hillside on top of each other. The wrought iron work and attention to detail on the buildings is wonderful. Cant wait to explore more tomorrow. Paul has a bottle of sav cooling in the fridge with our name on it for when the boys go off to sleep. Bye for now xox
