Day Four- Exploring San Pedro

Today we didn't start our tour until 3pm so we got to sleep in and explore San Pedro. Tiffany and I rose around 9:30. I got up and organised my clothes to make my way to the bathroom. I made a large mistake however as i placed my clothes very gently on the edge of the ear piercing laugh girls bed as she was sleeping, not touching her mind you and after 5 seconds i lifted them and headed out. Tiffany and I spent the morning exploring the little town which is VERY touristy with offices advertising sand boarding etc everywhere. There were heaps of little art markets but they weren't open as it was 11am and too early. The ones that were open were VERY expensive so we bargained a few people down got some supplies for the next few days and headed back to the hostel. When we got back we had some lunch and then i went into the room, another large mistake as i was about to pay for the previous one. The ear piercing laugh girl came straight up to me and told me that i was very rude for putting my stuff on her bed, that she was trying to sleep and for future reference i shouldn't do that as it is rude. I was stunned into silence (Something that rarely happens) and i mumbled a sorry. Both Tiffany and I were quite shocked as we were all sharing a dorm room and you really cant have your own space in such a place not to mention i didn't really do anything.

After that drama we all left together in the van again to a mountain in the Moon Valley. We were told by our pot guides that we were going to be climbing and caving. we arrived to a spot that clearly not many people go to and we went into a cave and were told that we could climb with the guide and part of it was vertical, for some bizarre reason i said i would wait for an easier route just so i didn't break something.

After most of the group climbed through the caves we were all allowed to walk around the mountain, some climbed to the top others such as myself walked around for a bit looking at..... rocks.

If we were really quiet we could hear the rocks cracking which was pretty cool. many rocks have collapsed because of the changing temperature which made me feel really comfortable.

After that we continued in the Moon Valley onto the actual tourist spot where we went through some salt caves, the salt had actually formed crystals on the rock and was smooth to touch. After the caves we went and saw two rock formations which didn't look like much, you be the judge. You are looking at the broken heart on the left and the three Maria's apparently praying to the sky. Hmmm

We quickly moved on from the rocks and climbed a sand dune (above) to see the sunset. There were three lookout points so we went on the hardest one of course but it was worth it. we walked on a mountain to the very end and waited. It was very beautiful. As we were sitting feeling the serenity, Tiffany took out some peanuts and started eating them, annoying ear piercing laugh girl was sitting beside us. She looked at the peanuts and told Tiffany that the smell of peanuts makes her sick to the point of vomiting so we just stared at her as she waited for us to put them away. We waited and kept eating, she soon got the point and moved....... we got peace.
