| Pink Flamingos |
I had a very creepy episode last night when the 6 bed dorm i was staying in (the only person!) started creaking and groaning. I thought there was somebody else in the room or creeping about upstairs (there is no upstairs!).
Apparently it was an earth tremor and they happen all the time. There are also a couple of active volcanoes in the area puffing away in the distance, so there is constant reminders of what sort of area San Pedro is in!
I´ve just had two very early starts so i am knackered and looking forward to an early bed tonight. Yesterday i did a tour leaving at 6am and went to a giant salt lake to see Pink Flamingos (alot cooler than it sounds honest) then to do a short trek around some high altitude lakes which were stunning, real picture postcard stuff.
Today i left at 4am after having very little sleep and went to see Geysers, which despite the early start and -9C were also pretty spectacular.
We stopped at a small unpronouncable village on the way back and tried Llama kebabs which were really tasty probably the best food i´ve had in Chile, which is not difficult.

My last day here is tomorrow, before i head to Arica then into Peru. Its been a real bonus this part of the trip, as Peru and Bolivia were always the main event but Chile has been amazing - i´d recommend it to anybody.
