Tomorrow morning, I am hopping onto a bus for a 14 hour drive to San Pedro de Atacama, so I'm taking it easy today.

I was talking to a Dutch guy who arrived from there with his friends yesterday evening, and he said it was beautiful, but very hard, as you hit altitudes up to 4000 metres. San Pedro is at about 2000. So we'll see how it goes, at least I booked a comfy bus.

I'll be having some lunch soon and will be 'mooching around', as my JLA companions would say. I'm looking forward to Bolivia, but I'm a bit nervous as well... the next stage of my trip (month three!) has begun.

pt 2
Lunch consisted of a lovely veggie salad with apple, carrot, red beet and raisins and papas fritas. I then spent my time reading 'The Brothers Karamazov' as it's a big turf and I want to get rid of it. It's the first book I've started reading since Cuba and I'm still only 500 pages far out of 800. Which obviously means I'm too busy having a good time to read, but I still have to lug it around...
