San pedro de atacama,
Chile
Friday, February 29, 2008
San pedro is a nice lil rustic town, feels a lot more south america then the rest of chile, although it is pretty much exclusivly full of forgieners either coming from or heading to bolivia, Such as myself.
Inthernets expensive so this update will be short, and then i will probably disapear until i reach bolivia somewhere.
The bus
So i bused with turbus, it was a 24 hour bus ride i payed about 110 dollars which hopefully is my first and last most expensive bus ride of my life...
the bus was definatly better then the average Chileano bus, But still shames in comparision to an argentina bus which cheaper and higher quality.
Included where 2 snacks like cold sandwhichs and such, and a lil sugar snack for breakfast.
The got a lil scame down here where they give you a big cup of coffee in the morning and then tell you the bathrooms are closed, so youhave to run off the bus and use a pay toilet, coz well as we all know cafine has certain side effects...
Apart from that the bus ride was pretty standard boring movies and some 80s tv shows like macgiver, lucky i had my ipod and watched american ganster again.
I am thinking about relaxing tomorrow in san pedro to adjust to the altitude and dryness, and then the day after trying to find a 4x4 3 day treck into uyuni bolivia.
I met a couple other travelers on the bus up but they are going at a faster pace so for the moment i think i will be sticking on my own, but the jeep rides are 6 people so theres always 6 potentially cool people around the corner.
Sad to leave chile, but pushing on makes missign people easier
Thats all out of time
Cheers im gonna go find a glass of water >D
