Another Planet

Posted by luke_l | 4th October 2007

It´s a tough journey though, definitely not for the faint hearted. There were 9 of us in a 4x4 designed for 7. The driver, his wife who did the cooking, their 2 year old daughter Karen and 6 of us gringos ready for action.

We started with a tour at the lunar vally on the border of Bolivia and Chile...

I went Sandboarding and actually pulled it off (unlike my snowboarding)
