Hi everyone, After a long 17 hour bus ride we arrived in the little town of san pedro. As we walked towards the hostel it actually felt like we had stepped into a cowboy movie...all we were waiting for was the sheriff to appear from around the corner. With dusty streets and little houses with different coloured shutters surrounded by mountains it really is as though we have stepped into a different world to santiago or la serena. That´s one of the great thing...

Hey everyone, Well I´m sorry to tell you all that I wrote (if I may sy so myself) an AMAZING entry...a proper little narrative story when the computer decided to delete it ALL!! SO no I have lost my enthusiasm so I am going to have to resort to bullet pointing again. After my last entry we arrived in la serena by bus. The bus was so much better than the ones i have endured 24 hour trips in on the way to skiing so hope that it will be like this for the rest ...

Hey everyone, We have arrived!! I kow this is poor effort for my first blog entry but lots of ppl are waiting to use the internet so I´m going to bullet point a summary of the trip so far: Arrive in Santiago airport after two 9 hour flights and a 7 hour wait in Atlanta airport I found out I passed my exams in Atlanta so I def stay here and won't have to go home-hoooorah but couldn't even have a drink to celebrate in US so celebrated with ice-cream instead :...
