The journey here was the worst bus trip in a long time. 17 hours felt like a life time...think we´ve been spoilt in Brazil and Argentina with our semi-cama buses...now we´re lucky if the seats go back at all...and don´t even get me started on the toilets!

Anyway, San Pedro is famous for the Valley of the Moon and guysers...as I didn´t want t get up at 4am to see the hot springs...only doing the Valley tonight-which should be good. We´re now at 2000 and something ft, the next place we go is 4000. Have brought some coca leaves to chew on which should help with altitude sickness if I get it. At least it is warming up now, my tan has faded rapidly, quite depressing!

The Valley was quite amazing...spectacular views of rock formations formed by water that used to flow in this valley-kind of like what the moon could look like? Walked up with crazily high black sand dune to watch the sun set and have a toast to our last day in Chile with the group. Another sight I will rememebr for quite some time.
