We need to get out! There was more rainfall last night and police has prohibit any buses or trucks to come into the little town because of the danger of landslides. Gosshh! Who would have thought that? The driest place on the planet and we need to evacuate! Lucky we have our car so weContinue reading “And off we are!”

It has been raining the whole night!!! People at the campsite and from the village are all so surprised about the heavy rains. This time of the year it can happen that you have a few drops of rain….little rain drops but no more…It is called the Bolivian winter…But these rains are unheard of here!Continue reading “San Pedro de Atacama!”

I love this picture of our three musketeers 🙂 So cheeky! Miguel made the pictures when he was with them at the top. The sand dunes are very steep and it is not that easy to move your feet through the sand but the boys were determined to find Miguel who had gone for aContinue reading “Sand dunes bashing!”

What an incredible place is the Atacama Desert! On our way to the Death Valley, we stopped to get a glimpse of the views which are truly out of this world! There were security people around as we needed to be careful with falling rocks. Due to the unusual rain from last night there wereContinue reading “Death Valley!”

So happy we are here at “Atacama Loft”, a small hideaway about 10 minutes drive from outside the little village of San Pedro de Atacama. It is a stunning place with views over the desert, lama’s wandering around and so much space for the boys to entertain themselves! Tomorrow, is Guido’s birthday and I reallyContinue reading “Atacama!”

We made it to Santiago and just came back from an amazing dinner. It is so hot here! I can’t believe what a difference in temperature! Only a two hour bus drive from Pichilemu and you are in a completely different world. Santiago is huge. We arrived in the center of town but quickly foundContinue reading “Santiago!”

Our last day in Pichilemu, we spent at the beach around the corner of our cabin. We took our tent, a bag full of goodies, wine and juice for the boys and off we were! It must have been around 4pm when we set up camp. The boys played with the frisbee for a goodContinue reading “Sunset at the beach!”

Today during lunch time, we had such a laugh. After yesterday’s surf day, we decided to take it easy. In the morning, Miguel and I went for a small bike ride into town following the wild coast line with views over the ocean and the smell of salty sea spray. The boys already had madeContinue reading “My boys!”

And they did it!! So proud of the three of them! Withstanding the cold and the amazing waves and current. What a contrast with Sri Lanka where they can run into the sea and hit almost any wave coming their way. Here it is paddling hard and show perseverance . Both felt frustrated and afterContinue reading “Hitting the waves!”
