Reservoir Dogs

The Queen Mary docked and unleashed it's contents on Valparaiso. My hosts told me to stay as far away aspossible since the only people welcoming them would be pickpockets, con-artists and a few hundred police trying to prevent the inevitable carnage. I couldn't resist, had to go take a look see but with only my camera and a few pesos. Managed to get a shot of them marching down the street, reminded me of the opening titles of Reservoir Dogs, with equally catastrophic results. Thankfully, after a few hours the ship plays it's tune (somewhat like the Pied-Piper) and they all scuttle back on board. Adios.

You may have noticed i have a thing against cruises. I just don't get it. Their next stop is Buenos Aires seven days later, it's a five hour flight. Why would you want to be on a boat? The only thing your liable to experience is legionaires disease, salmonella or depression. I now think of them as floating loony bins, at least for seven days terra ferma is a better place.
