Actually we departed from La Serena at 09:00 this morning but I forgot to activate SPOT until we were further down the road.

It was a cold, foggy morning along the coast but the Sun eventually burned it off and it turned in to a very nice day.  Cool but nice.

Arrived Valparasio at 14:00. The street from downtown to where our hotel is located was the most challenging ride of my life. Cobblestones and about a 30 degree hill with slow moving and stopped cars.  If we stopped we'd never get the bike going again and might have dropped it.  The solution was to weave around the cars and force out way up the hill without stopping. We made it but its a route I'll avoid in the future,

It was a 268 mile day.
