Justine and Dylan’s Travel Blog

I guess you could be stuck in worse places, but it´s simply a case of me being extremely spoilt these days.

La Serena is a beach town at the southern end of the Atacama desert which we got to after driving south for a couple of days from San Pedro (enjoyed the bush camping on the way down actually). If you´re into lying on a beach, great. Otherwise, the town centre was ok and very, very Western/modern (after Bolivia anyway), but overal getting some stamps here was the highlight.

Santiago is just a big city. The biggest we´ve been to since London actually (5m+ people). Its centre is great for shopping but otherwise it was great to just be out of the tent and into a nice hotel for a few days. Did enjoy the farewell dinner (it was the end of the Cusco to Santiago leg for some of our fellow Dragoman travellers… doesn´t time fly), great food.

Also got quite a few chores done but somehow managed to again run out of time for internetting. Interesting how that happens when you´re travelling. Oh well. Posting some photos will eventuate at some stage.
