At the moment we are in Calama and preparing to leave for San Pedro de Atacama in a few hours. Calama has pretty much been a resting stop for us. After a 15 hour bus ride we were pretty worn out. We think we have resolved the video camera charger problem, it sparked and burned out a few nights ago so we are killing time in a cyber lounge while an electrician tries to combine new and old parts to make something that works =) It would be really great to have a working video camera before heading out to San Pedro. We are looking up online what kind of new animals we might run across =) Hope to have some pictures of them soon...
