Have a cold.

Capel Pisco
Went to Capel Pisco museum, local corporate identity.

Looked shit.

Chilli
Realised I’ve been spelling Chile wrong.

Have decided to break up journey to Santaigo with trip to observatory in Vicuna, part of the rich Elqui valley region.

Mamalluca Observatory

High in the hills.

Gabriel Mistral
She lived was raised then died.
Here’s her picture.

the tour of Chuquicamata, have a few hours till I catch the bus to La Serena.

Calama is alright to hang around for a few hours, it has a few markets.

Used to be the world’s biggest but is no longer.

Fun’s over I now have to return to Calama.

I have a tour booked tommorrow in the city.

Misty Andes Hotel
This place looked cheap and innocous.

Surreally, a clown with and consatina neck and extending head follows me in, thanks me for opening the doors.

Morning
At about 6am I hear other guests waking up and vacating their rooms.
This lasts an hour, I go back to sleep.

The tour is at 2pm.
