Rest Day at Atacama
Up for an early breakfast before heading into the car park.
Last night we took everything possible out of the car, jacked it up ready to start first thing.
The leaf had completely split and it was a new one in June.
Andy fashioned a replacement from the one we had bought in La Rioja and by lunchtime and numerous coffees for the workers, the suspension was back in place.
After a panic to find the Halda screwdriver, the Halda is now back working.
With the hot desert weather all our washing was done and dried so all ready to head to Iquique tomorrow.
Once the car was fixed we walked into the village. Lots of shops selling tourist trinkets, and an interesting old church.
Tonight the hotel is putting on a Chilean cook-out "Quincho" where we will have barbequed lamb and entertained with live Altiplano music.
