San Pedro De Atacama

Just sat through 10 hour coach journey to reach San Pedro de Atacama in Northern Chile, the base for our trip into Bolivia. Amazing scenery en route ... through wide salt flats, high mountain passes, tiny adobe villages ... and changing weather; The weather for the entire trip was wall-to-wall sunshine and heat apart from the city of Jujuy, where a cloud-seeding experiment seemed to have gone horribly wrong (please excuse the poor focus and lack of balance to the composition, but our bus was sinking):


The weather in San Pedro is more typical of the Atacama desert, and it has the picture-perfect setting to boot; unlike Walthamstow, they have a volcano at the end of their high street:

  1. I think you'll find you may eat your words. Waltham Forest Council have approved planning permission for a new Volcano to be built at the top of the high street. I knew something woudl get built there eventually.
