Campanario Del Mar La Serena

... hire bikes the next day and rode down to the beach and along the coast to the next town. It was really cloudy again so it made it very comfortable to ride in and we did about 15kms until we came to a really nice beach where we stopped for a few hours. On the way back we went to a fish market and made the most of being by the sea. You could actually see the fishing boats delivering the fish fresh from the day´s catch. The sun started to ...

... rings around it through this big telescope (frankly I was expecting more... demanding I know!! ;o)) )... ------------------------- Apres nos deux jours a San Pedro nous arrivons a La Serena apres une journee et une nuit de bus (et une escale a Antofagasta) ... Nous passons deux jours la-bas... Ces deux jours seront assez bizarre. Le matin du premier jour je recois uin message de la maison.

... as quickly as Mike´s. I ride to the nearest gas station for him and purchase a couple of liters of oil, meanwhile Mike heads off to find a chain for his motorcycle. Once we are back to the hotel Mike and I decided to head out to the Boviacs (camp site for the Sponsors and racers of Dakar), while Juan and Jaqueline purchase some groceries. We agree to meet at the campsite. Once we arrive,the police have the road blocked off and will not let us in. We head back to ...

... two new female roommates, and a few Spanish-language fashion magazines scattered about. Would there be some Spanish señoritas to practice my Spanish with? No! Unfortunately for me, it was two Aussie girls who had been studying Spanish in Chile and thus spoke fluent Spanish. D'oh! Is it too much to ask for, to have a couple of beautiful Spanish senoritas for bunk mates? Apparently, the answer is yes ... but even more reason to return to Spain a sixth ...

... place to stay a kind lady in one place phoned up her friend who then even came to meet me on the street to take me to her house and I ended up staying with a family for a few nights which was quite a nice change. It also meant I could actually cook for myself and not spend loads of money on eating out the whole time (I also managed to develop an ...

... this length of journey was tough!) and through bleary eyes I was surprised at the western feel of Chile. The towns were grid like just like America, had very modern buildings, and all in all were very developed, one town had a beach front just like Santa Barbara with tennis courts, volleyball and basketball it was unreal! To think we were still so close to a country so poor as Bolivia was a real shock to see, we could have been back at home....... Eventually, after not feeling too ...

... to lose feeling in my fingers! But hey, I have my 1000 PESO (1 pound!) gloves to wear.... I KNEW they´d come in handy! Off to the bus station to get a ticket to go to Pisco Elqui tomorrow... And ´quelle horreur´ - there is a distillery there than makes Pisco, the Chilean national drink... Hmmmm, well, I guess I should visit that whilst I am there.... You wouldn´t want it any other way! Take care.... Time to warm my hands! x

... autres Talmud, et font aussi les shabbat et pessach, histoire de. Bref, on se sent moins seul. Dans la rubrique sciences j'ai vu mon premier telescope a optique adaptative et ca c'est du bon. Mais en deux jours, j'ai pas fait que ca. Je suis aussi alle voir le Chroniques de Narnia 2 et c'est une daube absolue, a peine depassee par Iron Man, heuresuement on avait les pop corn. Dans la galerie de portraits, j'ai rencontre quelqu'un d'hallucinant ...

... we went to Noler's jeep on a little trip around the surrounding hills - some very challenging and we had a bit of a hassle getting up and through the sand at times. Then we stopped the car at one of the higher parts of the area and sat down to drink some beers and watch the sunset, and take lots of photos! It was incredible.<br><br>Of course we were quite boozie, after the whole day at the beach drinking, so once the sun had set, we changed clothes and went to this guy's house where we ...

... ul><br>I had been waiting way too long and be way too excited to spend the Chilean Independence Day with my friends in La Serena - and I WAS GOING! No matter what! Therefore, me, Mariela and Paulina went out to the street, caught a local bus to the La Negra road junction, where there is a gas station where all the trucks stop on their way south. But where the bus left us was still in a 20 minutes driving distance from La Negra, so we'd just have to try to hitch a ride ...
