We´ve been in Chile for a week now and have got as far north as we are going to get - a place called Iquique. This is a bit of a crazy country, we´ve been travelling by bus through the Atacama desert - places here haven´t had any rain for over 50 years. In places the sea literally turns into mountains with no flat land and it is empty of people. We´ve been to three towns La Serena, which was lovely and quite old. We did a day trip from there up to the Elqui Valley in a jeep driven by a crazy Swiss guy called Daniel - we saw a dam (where we ate cactus), lots of grape, avacado and god knows what else fields. Jules ate humitados, don´t ask I don´t know, and we visted a pisco distillery - Pisco being Chile´s national drink. Oh and we went to an observatory and had a look at the moon - obviously. Good day.
Copiapo was the next stop, nothing much to it really and now we are in Iquique, which is a beach and casino town. Again not that much to it though.

Glad to hear it's going well. I always have to giggle when I hear about Pisco sours... Childish sense of humour and all. The question is, does it rank with €5 absinthe from Andorra?
