From Calma we took of to San Pedro De Atacama, it was a short and fast ride so we got there in no time. San Pedro is very touristy town so its full of hotels and we found one to stay for the night and went for a walk to the town.
I got invite from Marcos and Marina for Christmas so next day we went our separate ways as Roberto want it to make to Chile coast that day.

Desert ride to San Pedro

Kids going "snowboarding" in the sand

There was some power outage in the morning
so the line at the border was very long, it took me 3 hours to get through

Met the Dakar team from Ecuador :)

The road was going up and up to cross to Argentina

The border crossing was a breeze and soon after I was on my way to Slata

the was very nice 

It took me 3 days to get to San juan but I'm here for awesome holiday and tomorrow I will leave in the morning to get to Mar del plata to see the Dakar start and I will follow them for a while, not sure how long yet.

I would like to thank Marcos and Marina and Marcos family for such warm welcome and everything they did for me here :) you guys ROCK!!!!!!!!

cheers
