Jeep tour day 3 - Thursday 8th September, and arrival in San Pedro

So today pretty much went as planned (except we were running half an hour late... OSCAR!!!).
We saw the geisers which were pretty spectacular, stripped off at 4000m (bloody freezing!) to hop into the hot springs (to our surprise these were actually hot... Heaven!), saw the white lake which was indeed white, saw a volcano, which was indeed a volcano, then got to the border half an hour late. The minibus driver did NOT like this and Oscar started hurting us along, quick quick they are waiting. That's all very well Oscar but we have to go through immigration!
Proud that Ant escaped the 50bolivianos "tax" to leave the country by asking for a receipt!! We were eventually on our way, bye bye Oscar!
As the bus took the 40km swooping descent into San Pedro we wished we were on our bikes. We've not yet had full payback for our climbing into the mountains, so doing this on a bus hurt a little. But equally we'd nit had the suffering of cycling across Bolivia so we couldn't really complain.
After slight fear when the driver told us we were the people with the bikes (yes!), and one bike was in his house (one?!!), we were very relieved to be reunited with both boys and to see that he had looked after them remarkably well.
When we got to San Pedro we realised this was possibly due to the many many bikes and bike rental shops here, seems they understand bikes and cyclists a little better.
Relief also hit us when we found a lovely, if not slightly over priced, hostal (Sonchek) to stay, and after a wonderful hot shower found a glorious cafe to have a super tasty lunch on the square. (an actual sandwich amazing!).
San Pedro is a wonderful little town and we fell in love with it almost instantly.
A quick wonder around and we found ourselves back at the hotel, asleep in bed, only to wake up just in time for supper! That is we think it was time fir supper, we hadn't really established the time zones here yet and what with sleeping in the day were thoroughly confused! We decided to chill out in the evening and work out a plan tomorrow.
