Hey guys
Just a quick note to let you know we have arrived safely in Arica which is a little seaside town in the North of Chile.. its our last day in Chile before heading into La Paz (Bolivia) and then the jungle.
Today is a free day so we are taking it easy and not moving too much, given we had another cold shower before going on an overnight bus last night to get here. Our room is pretty awesome, from our beds we are looking right at the ocean and the sand is about 20m from where we sleep. I´ve never slept closer... better yet we have hot showers so life is good at the moment..Here hoping there no king tides this week.
Our ears are going a bit crazy being at sea level after being at 4000m yesterday.. but tomorrow we´re heading back up to 3700 in La Paz, then down again for the Amazon, then back up again on our return to La Paz.... its all part of the plan to get us used to altitude before the hike.. Our greatest height will be 4900m in the Colco Canyons...
Yesterday we did a bit more sightseeing around the desert.. saw some active (and smoking Volcanoes), saw some salt flats and some flamingo´s and patted some Illamas.. (oh yeah and i ate some for lunch too - tastes like beef!)
Hope all is going well...
Will chat soon and hopefully be able to figure out how to post photos today too.
Sounds awesome - eat some Llama for me. I never like they way they look at me. xxx Peter
