Relaxing in San Pedro de Atacama

My days here in San Pedro, have pretty much been about relaxing. I startet of my trip by getting a cold from Denmark, so I had a hell sitting over 20 hours in a plane with feber.
I had almost 24 hours in Santiago, to buy the things I needed and enjoy the city – didnt really worked out that way because of my cold. But I got most of what I needed, before I went on to San Pedro de Atacama.

I’ve always loved this little town – its so relaxing. So when I got here, I found Turismo Teckara, and got in touch with Marie-Odile Lehmann, who is the owner of Turismo Teckara. She had a friend starting a hostal, who need a website, so I was picked up by her friend in the evening. Unfortunenately, none of them spoke english, so I had to get by with a few spanish words, and using body language.

Thats also means that I have now made a website for Hostal Nuevo Amanecer.

I’ve pretty much just rested, all the time I’ve been here in San Pedro. The first couple of days, I where sleeping all day. Since then I’ve gotten a little better, but still coughing alot.

I went sandboarding with Sebastian, a friend I met here last time, at saturday, and went out drinking a couple of beers with him after – but besides then, I havent really done anything. Just relaxing and trying to get off the cold.
It was my plan to go to the Cejas yesterday with Odile, but she had to work – today I wanted to go to the Lagoons, but I’m not sure I can do that now, as its getting a little late. Tomorrow I’m proberly going to the Puritama hot springs with Sebastian – and hopefully some girls we met, when they were looking for a hostal.

Wedneysday I’m leaving for Bolivia, taking a 3-day trip to Uyuni. From Uyuni I’ll be taking a bus friday night to Sucre, where I’ll be spending the next month learning spanish..
