In reverse order, we have ...... 2 snaps of the sunset at Atacama and the Plaza Square in Copiapo and the Mall in La Serena. We arrived in Santiago last evening after travelling in quick succession from San Pedro de Atacama to Antofagasta, Copiapo, and La Serena. All quite pleasant places but our aim has always been to get to Santiago for a week stay minimum. We have, in fact, covered a distance of around 2300 kms since we arrived in Arica, Chile on 30th Jan. That is alot of bus travel but I have to say that throughout Ecuador, Peru, and Chile, the bus services have been brilliant - very clean and all air-conditioned.There is plenty to see here and around, i.e. Valparaiso and Isla Negra, both on the coast about 3 hours from here by bus. We have found a really cool hostel aswell in the centre of the city with all the mod cons. Bit more expensive than our previous hostels, but worth it just to be comfortable and happy before we part on the 19th Feb. I will finish my blog before I leave here and just confirm safe arrival in the UK when I am home on bachelor status for a few months!! Jon.
