Surfs up!
I survived…just the 17/18 hour bus journey from La Serena to Iquique it was uncomfortable, hot and very boring a bit like an aeroplane really (shows national express up anyway!)
So we arrived in Iquique and headed straight to the beach were I sat and Ben surfed, he was so happy to finally get some waves as he calls it. There was no surf in the Caribbean and he has been desperate for some since we left England.
Iquique is a strange place, its quite a large city really all set around a coastline of surfer heaven, the hostel we are staying at is really nice its clean, the staff are friendly and we are chatting to people and Ben has found a surfing buddy. We have decided to stay here a week to take some time to get our next journey sorted. The next stage is to keep heading north towards the Peru border, cross over and then head towards Machu Pichu which will definitely be amazing.
Anyway I still miss everyone and am really pleased to hear you are having some good weather :)
Speak to you soon.
