Arica, Chile

Well we are officially in our 9th country on our Latin American tour! We were quite happy that our $30 dollar flights we booked were actually legit! Only thing was someone stole our Canada flag name tags off our back packs,  who does that? we thought Glenn's may have just fallen off but when mine was gone to... it was too big of a coincident, so there is some Peruvians pretending to be Canadians:) Once we arrived in Tacna we took a taxi to the bus terminal where we caught a colectivo which is a sedan packed with 6 people that we took over the border. Good thing we read ahead of time that the driver takes your passport cause it does seem quite sketchy when he asks for it and disappeared for half an hour! But we made it to Arica, yesterday we wandered around town and walked up to point El morro which had great views of the city. Today we are going to go to the beach and get some sun and tonight we take a 12hr bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama ouch! We paid a little extra and got the cama seats which almost lie down so hopefully we can sleep:) All in all we are good it's weird here we are on the ocean but the landscape is desert! San Pedro is supposed to be the driest desert in the world so should be interesting! That's all for now!
