Wednesday 21st January
So here we are in San Pedro and we decided to have a chill and get used to being at 2,400 metres. I can already feel it in the system and breathing feels different. But also it hit 48 degree today and needed some getting used to.
We went out and did our chores, went to the bank, bought water and visited three tour companies. I had done quite a lot of research before coming out as quite a few had bad reviews. We plumped for the one I had thought was the best Whipala travel, and we booked four trips with them starting the next day.
By that time we were hot and bothered and came to our oasis to cool off.
We wandered around the town, which took a whole twenty minutes, and then to the museum of San Pedro. It was a small museum, surprisingly cool, and. It showed the history of the local from the stone age to now. QI.
To be honest we sat around and read, updated the blog and went for dinner at the Adobe, re commended by here. They have a lot of patio restaurants here. Part covered over with an open area. Had a brilliant prawn salad and one beer. Listened to a band. We think it's the altitude, but one alcoholic drink is enough, and we start ed feeling a bit rough with that.
Early to bed, we forgot an alarm so I downloaded an app to the phone and tablet as we needed to be up at six the next morning.
What an amazing trip you are having. I've just caught up and read the last 10 days. Somehow I managed to delete your email, but luckily found it in the deleted folder!
ReplyDeleteMadrid looked lovely and brought back memories of places we have visited - never made it to the park and the lovely glass building and lake though. You can't beat tapas.
Your blog is brilliant at giving such a great insight to what you are doing, the history and your pictures really bring it alive. Those ice cream sundaes looked fab. Though it's been quite cold here - lots of frost and -3 yesterday, so we don't have the weather for them at the moment.
The desert and adobe hotel look incredible. How much higher will you go? I didn't know alcohol would go to your head the higher you go. Is the food quite spicy?
I've just put in for voluntary redundancy!! Fingers crossed! Just been to Lille for a European funding meeting which was interesting. Lille is a lovely city, lots of old buildings, wide squares and amazing chocolate shops.
Enjoy your next destination.
