From Santiago we took a 7 hour bus ride up to La Serena which is a coast town. We check in to "Maria`s Casa" for the night, at the urging of her son who collected us at the bus terminal. Actually, there were many annoying people at the bus terminal trying to get us to stay at one hotel or another, but we got the best feeling from Maria´s son, Andreas. The best part of staying at this hostel was Maria´s brother, Poncho. "Super Poncho" as we now like to call him, has a connecting shop where he ...

We left Santiago on a really early morning bus the following morning. The system was very organised as we checked our bags into the hold, kept our and luggage and had designated seats on buses with great reclining seats. Luke handles all the ticket buying and accommodation and with limited Spanish, that means you don't have any hassle about getting on the wrong bus etc. La Serena is a costal resort about 7 hours north of Santiago so we enjoyed the spectacular coastal journey on a nice Sunday ...

Because it's so expensive here, and granted I wasn't willing to scrimp too much after the butt-numbing grunge-fest that is the Southern Altiplano of Bolivia, I decided it would be prudent to fit as much action into my short space of time in San Pedro as is humanly possible. At 4am this wasn't really the first thing on my mind as I was more concerned with the fact that it was absolutely freezing, and likely to become colder, and very, very early indeed. The reason for this early start was that...

To break the mammoth journey from San pedro to Santiago, we decided to stop off at La Serena, a small coastal town about two thirds of the way down to Santiago. Good in theory but we did end up having to wait 16 hours for the next night bus to Valparaiso! But we managed to pass the time away by mooching around ...

... gets cool points for being less than one year old, and right across the way from the scientific observatories of El Tololo and Los Geminis. The downside is that they only do tours in Spanish and have only one telescope so you do not see as many objects as you can at Marmalluca. The tour group was a little large, about 15 people, almost all Chileans. The guides were very knowledgable and helpful. The tour was about $14 ...

... Danach schlendern wir ein wenig durch die recht leeren Strassen (es ist Sonntag) von "La Serena". Ein huebches Staedtchen mit 29 Kirchen (an fast jeder Ecke ist eine zu finden) und einem schoenen Plaza de Armas. Um 18 Uhr treffen wir uns am Hostel mit Sabine und Giovanni und wir gehen spazieren und dann zusammen essen. Wir bleiben bis etwa 22 Uhr in dem kleinen Restaurant und verbringen einen netten Abend zusammen. Danach geht es ins Bett. Das Wetter war toll mit ...

... fantastically green and verdant compared to Argentina, and that everyone loves kites - they are sold on every street corner, and flying them seems to be the main entertainment of everyone, young or old, in the quiet moments after work and before dinner! Anyway, our next challenge once off the bus, was to navigate the metro system and anyone familiar with foreign underground systems won't be surprised to learn that Santiago's (unlike the tube) is ...

... went straight to an mamasuca observatory, it was amazing! we spent 3 hours observing and learning about space, i got to see saturn, jupiter and mars, i can now distinguish the southern cross and know what stars are made up from!!! (hydrogen by the way, stars are born in nebulars, i also saw one of these places!) although i did discover that shooting stars are fake!!! i know the shock!!! they are actually meteors falling to earth, or space debris ie old satellites lol ...

... Calafate and southwest to Puerto Natales, where we base for Torres del Paine, espectacular mountains worth to see. We end in a small hostal called Vagan, with a superb ower, Cristobal, and a nice atmosphere. He and his friend tell us everything about Torres, and the next day we go to Torres. We sleep in a refugio, sort of mountain resort, and walk two different paths, one to the Valley Frances, beautiful foresta and snow peaks, and the next day to the Grey glacier, small ...

... the small, useless coins in my pocket. Of course not everybody does give their money away, at least not in Chile, but I know in Iceland nobody would mind - who cares about $0.50 USD ? It's just weight in one's pocket. And it's going for a good cause!<br><br>Going "Home"<br><br>I spent the whole summer in La Serena - that's from December to end of February. I had some seriously great times and I would like nothing more than to be able to live there permanently. People are so incredibly ...
