Yes, we are in Chile. We whizzed through Bolivia, not on purpose but just the way it worked out and now here we are in Chile.
So going back a few days, we left Sucre and headed for Potosi to try and get a bus further south, but it didn´t work out like that in the end so we headed to uyuni to do a salt flat tour and the one we chose finished in Chile which is why we are here. The tour was amazing the first day out on the salt flats was fantastic. The sun was shining and it made the day even better. We took lots of photos as you can see on the blog and had a really good group which made it all the more fun. We got to spend time out on the salt flats both the dry and wet parts and then took a jeep ride accross the whole thing which was spectacular, you could not distinguish the sky from the floor at some points, very worth while seeing. The 2nd day we saw some lakes and flamingos which was OK nothing compared to day 1 though - oh and our jeep broke down for 2 hours which was not fun but worked out OK in the end. Day 3 we got to see some geysers and another lake then on we came to Chile.
We are in a tiny place in the middle of the Atacama Desert called San Pedro de Atacama, it is full of tourists and restaurants and tour companies but we still really like it here. It is like being on holiday. It is so hot its stiffling but we are not complaining. We are staying in a nice hostel with lots of patio space and hammocks and its all very easy. Except the prices it is so expensive here, its like UK prices. We tried to arrange a bus out of here tomorrow purely because of the costs but unfortunately they are full so we are "stuck" here until Friday - lounging in the sunshine not doing much - travelling is so hard!!!!
Anyway think that is all for now. Hope you enjoy all the photos we have out up xxxx
