Now I also know ...

... why Vallenar is not found in any of my travel guides. There is nothing here.

The long bus ride was quite exhausting. The short walk from the bus terminal to the hotel did me good. The person at the reception was quite unfriendly, but then even gave me my room key early in the morning. Freshly showered, I looked around here and had a delicious breakfast.

After a refreshing siesta, I tried again, but there is nothing here.

That means wasting Sunday here. Okay! And on Monday in the early morning off to the Elqui Valley.
