Now this is desert! Yesterday i took a 10 hour bus journey to San Pedro.
Thr journey was great, the seats on the coach went back almost horizontaly so i slept for a couple of hours.
My shower Gel exploded and went all over the inside and outside of my bag, the Chilean immigration officials were not impressed when i put through an x-ray machine!
The route was very impressive, it followed a lot of the previous days route in reverse, up past the salt flats before branching off towards Chile.

San Pedro is a small town in the shadow of the Andes and with mountains all around. Half of the houses are made with red dust from the desert. A guide told me today that the locals are worried by earthquakes as they will flatten these buildings. Everything is covered in red dust, the houses, cars, people and the dozens of dogs running around everywhere!
Today i took a trip to the valley of the moon, an area of rocks that have been weathered by water into a moon like landscape.
That god for Skype it would be very strange being in this sort of place without any contact with home! had a quick chat with Emma today that was nice, one of the few things i miss about home. Although i would kill for a curry.
