Cerro San Cristobal and Bellavista-again

I went to Marja's house and we had a gossip about this and that and decided to head to Cerro San Cristobal to see if the pool there was open despite that everyone said it would be closed. Well, we went up in the teleferico and yes, it was closed and the water was a nuclear green colour so we weren't even tempted to go in.

We continued up to the top in the teleferico and climbed up the steps to the virgin and sat and surveyed the town from above. We went down in the Furnicular and into Bellavista neighbourhood where, because it was Easter Sunday, most places were closed. There were few or no Easter processions here which surprised me because Chile is a catholic country like Spain which has tons of stuff going on. The working week leading up practically comes to a halt with all the semana santa processions but apparently that doesn't happen here.
