When I woke up around 9, I peered out the window and discovered we were in the dusty desert near Atacama. We were served breakfast of raspberry juice and manjar biscuit. I tried the bus toilet and after pulling at the door for a while it opened. It was dark inside and I couldn't find the light switch so I just fumbled around in the dark for 10 minutes eventually I found the light switch by this time the steward was at the door asking what I was doing!

I collected my laundry and then sat in the kitchen trying to read a Chilean paper and drinking cups of tea. I sat around and watched Captain Corelli's Mandolin. It was time for me to go to the bus terminal. I hopped on the metro and got there with plenty time to spare.

However I lost track of time and...

We then watched Dawn of the Dead in the tv lounge. We were supposed to watch a Colo Colo match tonight but getting to the stadium was expensive ...

Today me, Shaun (guy from Winchester), Katie, Bridget and Karen got a bus to the nearby city of Valparaiso. The coach was really comfortable and we got therein just over an hour. We passed through some fantastic scenery; vineyards and forests. We arrived and sat in Plaza O'Higgins, we walked along the main street and bought some churros from street vendors. It was sugary and greasy but good. We walked up the cobbled streets past colourful but delapid...
