IN VALLENAR - AND SET TO REACH THE DESERT

Okay, so my schedule has already been altered somewhat. Here I am in the city of Vallenar, where I spent a lazy sSunday strolling along the banks of the Río Huasco and taking in a soccer game which the local team lost 2-0. I´d said I would be staying in Huasco, which is out on the coast, but it turned out to be a bust - I couldn´t find any accomodations that were even open for business, so I turned around and headed back inland to stay at the rather pricey Hotel Puerta La Vega, anbd I am set now to check out in a few minutes.
I´ve got some good pics from the region but no time to upload then now, so maybe ((or maybe not) I will do so later, once I get to Taltal. But for now, I am ahead of schedule by one day so I am thinking I will spend it camped out in the desert somewhere north of here, outside of Copiapó. There might be even more pictures from that little bit of diversion.
Well it´s time to go finish packing my bags and get on the road...
Saludos, amigos
