Ok well after leaving alice in San Pedro on saturday, we caught a very nice bus to Calama, which is about 1.5hrs west of San Pedro, where we planned to find a bus to take us to the beach. We arrived in Calama and managed to shop around for a cheapish ticket to La Serena (16hrs south west) fpr that evening. We had about 4 hours to kill and went off exploring. As usual we were quickly side tracked by ice cream (we have become addicted to MEGA ice creams, similar to a magnum but with raspberry ripple ice cream. yum). anyway we sat down on a bench to munch and within 30 seconds 2 chilean guys came up and started rambling in very fast spanish. After a few minutes they asked if we would like to go back to their house for beers and drugs........tempting.....but we declined!! Since reaching La Serena the only thing we have been attracting are stray dogs. especially at the beach! they enjoy chiling on our towels, and barking at anyone that comes nears us. They also insist on walking us home, or to the nearest chinese resturant!
We found a lovely hostel, which is more like a hotel, complete with mum and granny!!! they cleam up after us and refuse to let us wash up. Found massive supermarket where we were able to buy peanut butter, cheese and biscuits, and chocolate (no haribo tho :( ) We also had cable TV so have watched many movies!
Movies watched:
Bridget jones - in spanish
man in the iron mask - in spanish
Josie and the pussycats - worst film ever, but must be watched once!
broke back mountain
ned kelly
proof of life
random film about a bear with a young kirsten dunst in it
my best friends wedding - in spanish
the core - on the bus CRAP!!!
kingdom of heaven - on bus, in spanish, 1st hour only!
Leagally blonde 2
so as you can see, havnt gotten out much. we are like little old ladies, in bed by 9pm, eating cheese and grapes. Last night though we did venture out for a drink, had one mango dacquari each and didnt get home untill 11pm. wild!!!! The beach is nice, although the sun doesnt come out untill about 3pm!!!!!! Have still managed to soak up some rays, and have a few interesting tan lines!
So anyway, we are now alittle browner (well red in the case of J´s bum) and rounder from our few days by the sea, and are looking forward to hitting mendoza tomorrow (we will try not to sample to much wine without you al...) and then on to cordoba over the weekend.
hope all is well in England. missing you all, and missing alice most
muchos love J and Haz x
