Unlucky day with an unexpected end!

After a short night we woke up early to rent our car to explore Valle de La Luna and the Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache. We already booked a online ticket for Valle de La Luna.

Unfortunately we were unlucky with our car rental and we were not able to rent a car. It was also Sunday, so we did not get any taxi driver and no uber and cab drove. I was very frustrated, because these were two big highlights of my trip.. also for renting a bike was to late at that time, because for the entry of Valle de La Luna you need to be there before 11 with the bike. Fucking shit.

So we made the best of our day and our hostel guide drove us to a swimming pool close by, where we could only enter, when you have an Chilean money transfer system. 🤦🏼‍♂️We asked people so it went out good.

We chilled there till the evening (except Lena, she went before) and cooked some pasta with avocado and tomato Sauce again.

We already expected, that our stargazing tour will be cancelled again, BUT IT WASN‘T!! The first tour after 20 days our guide told us. We were so happy and ate fastly our dinner.

At first we got some Basis information about astronomy with snacks and after that we were able to look trough telescopes. I saw the mars closer, as well as colourful stars and a dusty cloud, where behind is another universe. To see the stars trough a telescope was sooooooo amazing!! (but I needed to get in touch with looking trough the telescope as well)

After that we made some pictures with the camera of them. The tour was quiet nice!

Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to Lena already, because she is going in the morning to salta. What a pitty, but after the days in Atacama, we/all of us are very excited and happy, that we can travel alone again. (Also other routes). These kind of bigger groups include a lot of compromise, but we still had an amazing time!!!

The plan is to book a ticket tomorrow for oruro and go to Sucre. Maybe this takes more time as I want, but it will work out somehow.Read more
