San Pedro de Atacama

This dusty town is found in the worlds driest desert, at more than 2000 metres above sea level, vlose by both the argentinian and bolivian border.

Two nights here were enough. Wandered around the museum (they only have one), where they display the life here before and during the Incas. Had a trip to the worlds highest geysirs, Tatio, in the morning on monday. Left at the not humane 4 a.m. It was freezing, how many degrees I don't know, but below zero as it was ice around the geysirs.

Inthe afternoon I visited a salty lake, Lago Cejas, supposedly saltier than the Dead Sea. Strange to be floating like that in the water! After a wonderful sunset it was back to San Pedro. I really had to use the toilet, already an hour before sunset. The one hour on very bumpy roads back didn't exactly help. So back in San Pedro I had to run. So fast that I forgot my camera in the bus. Luckily there were still people in agencies office when I discovered it. And I got it back. Would be a shame to loose my christmas present before christmas!
