San Pedro de Atacama

LOCATION: CHILE

yes fellas, i arrivede at this tranquil little town (mexican stylebuild) at 16:00...found a nice hospedjal, bought some groceries, got cleaned up (24 hr drive non stop) and headed to the town streets...the sceneary on the way was awesome and hearing leonard cohen and REM in the background gave the real atmosphere to the Andes on the one hand and the sea shore on the other...the bus was OK and sleeping wasn't a problem..., there are so many things to do here in San Pedro (horseriding, sand surfing, 4WD tours to numerous locations around etc) and overall things look good. I've met a German fella name Steffan (Shtefan as they pronpunce it) and maybe i'll join him for some trips in the area...he plans to do a round trip to bolivia's salar's andt hen return back to San Pedro and to move to Arica, a nice town up north in chile. i may join him for this route...it's a bit fast for me to leave this country, even though it's very expensive here (incomparison to other SA contries) so his route sounds attractive...Shani and Oded are intending to leave into bolivia the next few days so it seems that our paths are going to part...
