We have now been in San Pedro de Atacama for 3 days and the place is really amazing. Apart from the breath taking nature it s a real party town. You could call it Gringolandia, but with friendly people all around, especially the locals who are always ready for a good joke.

We arrived on Thursday after a 12 hour bus drive from Caldera. Just as we arrived a indian lookig guy came up to us, asking if we already had a hostel here. Our answer was no, so he drove us to his hostel, where we stayed since then. The guy is called Roberto and he is so funny. We are bullshitting all the time, we go out with him and he tries to hit on the foreign girls. Today we were talking about having bloody steaks during every day of eastern…

Yesterday Jana and me did a trip to the Valley de la Muerte (Death Valley), Valley de la Luna (Moon Valley). The moon valley mainly consists of salt. The people here used to process the salt, but they told us that the transport is too expensive, so they use others sources today. We saw the sunset in Moon Valley, which was pretty amazing (check out the pics, links are above). Today we just chill, remember we are in the desert, so the sun is pretty agressive. Tomorrow we ll do a 3 day trip in Bolivia to see the Uyuni salt lakes, lagoons in which you can bath at a height of more than 4000 meters, flamingos…

Then we ll stay in bolivia for 10 days. We talked to a bolivian today, which gave us plenty of information about bolivia, so we are excited to enter the next country. We ll keep you informed about the whole thing.

Thanks for your comments, Henrik (white snake) and Ani (cow). It s always nice to here from you, just keep them coming…

From Valparaiso we headed north to La Serena, where we planned to explore La Isla Damas. A chilean friend told us that this island is a national reservation place and inhabits Pinguins, Sea lions, sea otters and dolphins. It was a little adventure, because the sea was a little stormy this day and of course we were sitting in the smallest boat available. But the trip made up for it, we saw two dolphins which we bothered for 10 minutes and then we faced the other animal colonies. Man did they stink. Pinguins and sea lions seem to eat and shit all the day. Damn i like their life….

We just arrived in Caldera and plan to chill here for two days to get some sun. We stay in a small hostel which helds chicken, so no need to bring your alarm.

Then it s bustime again. About 10 hours until we arrive in San Pedro de Atacama, where we ll spend some time exploring the Atacama desert.
