Next stop: Chilè

After a very long night and day of travel via Santiago we arrived in San Pedro de Atacama. This place be the desert. At an altitude of 2,100m, and winds of 60km we had a lazy first day!
Desert day two: We hired some bikes and rode down some dirt roads for 18km to arrive to our destination of Laguna Cejar. These are pretty amazing salt lagoons out in the sticks. We swam in freezing temperatures (Tallara could barely get out a word) and floated around in the very salty, deep lagoon waters.
A local empanada for a late lunch and a quick rest before going to meet our new friend Rene for a local astronomy lesson, star gaze and a 90% traditional Chilean dinner. He also makes delish mulled wine.
Desert day three: A hire car, Flamingos, more lagoons, Tallara sucks at directions and enchiladas. Yummoooo. Sandy Pedro you are dusteeeee.Read more
