Our last stop in Chile was San Pedro de Atacama... a small village in the desert. The bus rides around this time were getting more and more uncomfortable and the view of endless desert plains a little tiring. Nonetheless - San Pedro was a really cool stopover.
The highlight for me was an evening of Sandboarding - basically snowboarding on giant sand dunes. The drawbacks include the lack of a ski lift, sand in every crevice of your body and clothing... as well as sand in the zoom lens of my camera! So unfortunately... no more photos for this blog!
We also did a ridiculous tour to some geysers at 4am one morning. Yah okay, so water boiling up from a mysterious underground source in the middle of the desert is really cool... but getting up at 4am in the freeeeeezing cold and suffering from altitude sickness (we were over 4000m) is not going down as a highlight on this blog! And no photos to prove I was there...

Wow, sure looks like fun! Remind viewers not to take cameras with them when sandsurfing.
