I guess even when travelling we can have one of those days.
So after getting locked out of my room at 7 this morning, went down to an Internet cafe and half way through the session the keyboard messes up and I lose all the standard symbols, and get a completely random selection instead. Plus it had no usb port, so I couldn't´t upload any photos. Then had to call my bank, which cost me a small fortune, and there has been a fraudulent transaction on my card, so I have had to cancel my visa card. Came back to the hostel and used the Internet there, but strange incompatibility problems between my camera and the pc. Then realised I had lost my room key, turned out I had left it in the toilet this time. GAH!
But at least now the sun is shining so I have a legitimate reason to hide behind sunglasses.
I am off for an observatory tour, perhaps handing the organisation to someone else will limit any chances of problems.
All I have to do is make sure I don't get lost on the way home - this time.

And in the meantime a few shots of La Serena, just cos I can now :D
