After La Serena we went to another popular each resort called Viña del Mar. It wasn't particularly great but that was partly to do with the huge number of people there. I spent a couple of hours in the truck with one of the drivers trying to help him find a place to park but there just wasn't anywhere... I know those roads like the back of my hand now, argh! I didn't get to see anything else but Nat managed to see the sunset on the beach...wish I hadn't gone i...

Since San Pedro our itinery has been very relaxed...in that it didn't really exist and even the ones we made have changed. We first went to a town called Calama but only so we could go to the supermarket and stock up. I also visited a nearby copper mine...my goodness! The mine was gigantic, as were the trucks. They shifted something like 2 million tonnes of rock a day with only 10% being copper. We then drove off and pulled up somewhere along the Pan American Hig...

We visited the salt flats in Uyuni...WOW! Just wait until we get the pictures on here!

It was not the nicest of towns but I did find a restaurant where you could have meat fondue! Mmmm! We also took a mine tour where in a silver mine which was pretty horrific. The miners start at the age of 12 and the conditions are terrible. The rock is so hard iot takes between 2 and 3 hours...

I absolutely love La Paz! Its a really bustling city (this picture isn{t actually la paz though). I had intended to go shopping here pretty much the entire time we were there but I got distracted walking around. After getting up early and leaving Nat in bed into one of the other people from the truck and we ended up spending the whole day just walking around the non-gringo areas. We found some fantastic cake shops so we were both very happy! There was a little i...
