Our last day in Pichilemu and nothing particular planned so Barbara & I went exploring. Sara's uncle's Cabañas (holiday flats) are extremely conveniently situated near to the beach and shops, so there's plenty of interest within easy walking distance. Here's a view of the whole of Pichilemu, quite a big place:
The flat we were staying in is arrowed, and here's a closer view showing just how close to the sea it is:
And this is the view from the street corner arrowed:
Walking parallel to the beach, we soon came to the Parque Ross with lovely views over the seafront, it being a bit elevated.

Nicely planted with a range of attractive flowers .....
A nice mix of nature and architecture.
About to move on again, I spotted this attractive young lady sporting a brand new hair clip and surreptitiously photographed her without asking permission!
Down on the beach, walking along the boardwalk, a couple stopped me and insisted that I should photograph them ....
Quite why they wanted me to capture them I don't know, as they'll probably never see the photo on this blog, but they were very pleased (more so when I showed them the photo on the camera) and even offered me a can of drink.
A little further on a group were playing beach volleyball ....
And just up from the beach were many horse-drawn carriages, keen to take the tourists' Pesos in return for a five minute ride. .
Interesting to note also in that photo, the unguarded trip hazards on the pavement in front of the horse ...
Just imagine someone who'd had a little too much to drink, tripping on the little studs, and falling onto the large ones. I think in the UK Mr. Elf would have something to say about that, and in the litiginous USA, it could never happen. These weren't the only examples I saw either. Note: take care where you're walking in Chile!
Moving on, the many kiosks with buckets, spades, beachballs etc were so reminiscent of my childhood holidays at the seaside .....
And back to the flat to pack up for leaving tomorrow.
