Well we are in Antofogasta. Its the Chilean Independence week celebration and evidently they travel during this week. Every bus was full and bus companies are scrambling to add new bus´s as fast as they can, oh and hotels and bus companies also raise their rates at this time so things are very expensive.
Originally we got in on Friday night and were told that we couldn´t get out until Monday night so we bought that ticket and prepared for 3 days in this city.
Luckly we met a couple from Chile/US that we befriended who told us to keep going back to the bus companies as they add new bus´s all the time. So we went back againa and again and got the last tickets on a bus to La Serena, half way to Santiago, for tonight at 10:30. We lost 15% of our allready purchased tickets but its better than staying here for 3 nights and paying almost $40 US per night.
Hopefully we can catch some of the independence day celebrations in La Serena!! Only 11 sleeps until we´re home!
