Make it over the border after a an appropriately chilly four hour wait at a remote desert border crossing. Despite being in the driest place in world, San Pedro de Atacama's plumbing is probably the best I've experienced since Columbia eight weeks ago. It's a sleepy enough town, one of the best in the world to view the stars. We get a fascinating tour of the sky from a wacky and wonderfully politically incorrect French astronomer called Alain.
