After breakfast, we packed our clothes then checked out of Loft Waddington and were given a Loft Waddington cloth bag, to add to our Celebrity Cruises cloth bag. Both may come in handy if our souvenir sweaters are too bulky to pack at the end of the cruise. The temperature was 16 C, sunny and a bit of wind. We hefted our luggage on to a Valparaíso bus #506 to take us to the bus station on the other side of town. The ride was less than 30 minutes and cost less than $2 for both of us. A fellow passenger assisted us by telling us at which stop to get off. The bus station was bustling. We exchanged our tickets for a bus leaving an hour earlier. We really got a flavor of Valparaíso sampling the trolley buses, the taxis, the cable car, and best of all, the transit buses, especially the wild downhill route 612 blazing through the hairpin turns as it rocketed down the hills. The rollercoaster ride was almost as much fun as speeding on the Dubai desert...
