Today is my last day in San Pedro Atacama thankfully. Pablo and Luis went out lastnight and as I was getting up they were just getting home - glad I decided to pass on the offer to join them. In the morning I prepared some food for the long bus ride - the company claims to provide snacks but who knows what or how good they will be. I then headed into the town for one last walk around and to change some American dollars as all the ATMs in town charge $8+ to draw m...

Today I had a much needed sleep-in until about 8:30am. I had absolutely nothing to do today so most of the morning I sat around trying to get connection on the very bad wifi service they have at next doors hostel. Around midday myself and Luis went to buy some things to make dinner but unfortunately he had to go off and organise some tours so I headed back to the house where Pablo was now taking over today's lunch cooking duties. Lunch took over 3 hours and by th...

Lastnight my host and the other surfer were up until 5am preparing food for a tour they were sending out today so unfortunately I didn't get any sleep. I went over and seen the 3 lads I had been traveling and doing tours with for the last couple of weeks, as they were off to Argentina on the bus today. We all expect to be in Patagonia around the same time so we will keep in contact and hopefully meet up when we are there. The rest of the morning I walked around t...

In the group we had a lovely couple from San Sebastián - somewhere I am very familiar with, a young couple from Rio in Brazil and a wonderful couple from Uruguay. Eduardo was fu...

Today I didn't really have much of a plan; just to go for a walk around the town, get some money, buy some food and suss out some tours. Midmorning I went and met the guys and we walked around trying to get an idea of what we wanted to do in San Pedro. We decided the rental car was too expensive and most of the full day tours were up over a $100 but we agreed we should go on the afternoon tour to Luna Valley and Death Valley. As Luis runs his own tour agency I de...
