La Borena

We're just about to leave La Serena which is a pretty boring place in itself. Yesterday we walked around and went to an archaeological museum which was pretty cool as it had a 2.5 metre statue from Easter Island and some mummified people too. Last night was great though as we went to an observatory, which isn't actually a fancy conservatory! We spent a few hours star gazing and looking through their massive telescope. Apparently Jupiter is in Gemini at the moment. We saw a close up of Jupiter and were able to see the two rings on it which was amazing! We also had a presentation about the different constellations, but we got the giggles and couldn't really concentrate on what he was saying. A fun evening out! 

Now we're going on a 16 hour bus to San Pedro de Atacama where well be visiting the salt flats and sand boarding! Very exciting!
