If you're ever planning a trip this way, definitely go to San Pedro. It immediately felt much more civilised and modern, and restaurants felt clean and enticing. There are so many tours to go on, from sand boarding down dunes, to seeing sunsets in the moon valley and venturing into the desert to see stars.
As ever, we found it difficult to way up our options especially as we both had an overwhelming desire to get back on our bikes after the week or so break. We decided to opt for a "big bang" astronomical tour that evening with "time travel tours" and used the day to sleep, clean bikes and relax. Possibly we should have gone on other tours - the Vallee de Luna is supposed to be spectacular at Sunset, but our rational was we would see many a sunset over the desert in the days to come, that wed actually earned on our bikes.
I have to say that the Astro tour was simply amazing. After a talk about the big bang and origins of our universe, we went out to the desert to star gaze, first by eye, then by telescope. Got some fantastic pictures of the moon, Saturn, globular clusters and a nebular as souvenirs and had a generally lovely evening.
It was late when we got back, but we'd managed to find a pick up truck to take us back to the border tomorrow morning (we weren't going to go all the way up the 40km, 2000m ascent having not had the payback!), so we snoozed and were excited at the prospect of being on the road again.
