Day: 26 March 2005

Runs through the valley.

Rio Purifica Vista

Not far from the fun Geysers you will find the warm baths, slightly muddy, slightly smelly lots of Germans, don’t let this worry you.

Strip off make sure everyone is looking, slip yer togs on and wade in.

Spent at least twenty minutes in this fashion, relaxing with the multinational crowd which had gathered in fashion to take the waters.

English
Saw the English girls from yesterday who reported that they were going to spend the afternoon horse riding then take a 25 hour bus trip to Santiago.

It was Nonnies birthday in two days and she wanted to spend it in Santiago.

Waters
Very relaxing after a 4am start.

High point in fact.

4am start for this one.

Took it with a different company, the other one was fully booked.

“The road is longgggg, with many a winding turn…”

Bumpy and long.

The woman next to me is sick and has to rush to the door which I hold open whilst she is sick and sits back down next to me.

This has the effect of encouraging my own sick thoughts which are suppressed.

Fall asleep.

Opportunity
Bumpieness has gone and we are almost there.

This tour stops for photo opportunities and I have to open and close the door for people who don’t have the strength to work the handle.
Which is most of them.

I let them peer in the window a few seconds before I let them in..

We’re here.

Geysers el Tatio

Geyser People

Industrial Geyser

Steam off the Geyser

An exciting place to be at 4 o’clock in the morning.
