Got into La Serena at 12 noon today after a 14 hour bus journey from Antofagasta.....several travel sickness tablets later I managed to get an alright night`s sleep..not sure about Dave though who spent the entire afternoon asleep in the hostel room...we have managed to see a bit of the town so far including some really gorgeous Japanese Gardens! The bus journey from Antofagasta and in fact any of the bus journeys in Chile so far have been beyond boring as there is no landscape to look at..Chile (from what I understand) is sandwhiched between the Andes and the Pacific so there is very littly interesting landscapes and much of Northern Chile..north of Santiago..is desert..(see picture)
So far La Serena looks good and tomorrow we are off to get a tour of the local distilleries! They make a drink here called Pisco..think its a type of whyskey but will know more tomorrow unless Paul McEvoy wants to Wiki it (go on Paul).
Just phoned home and am hearing great stories of what all my Dad`s Roadstone ladies did for his birthday! Nice to know someone is looking after him when I`m gone cause you know I`m the only one who really does..Michael and Gerard just don`t care!! Keep it up!!
Other pic is of Japanese Gardens in La Serena and the giant Koi (just for Dad)
