Caldera / Bahia Inglesa, Chile (Days 7 to 10)

 Currently writing from Cuzco, Peru (March 1st, 2012) about the very distant past (Jan 23rd to Jan 26th) as I am very far behind in my blog, yet all has been written in my journal and remains fresh in mind:

We arrive to Caldera, Chile and want to get out of the city and into the tranquility of the beach as we were kind of exhausted of buildings after Santiago...We arrive to Bahia Inglesa to run into our first experience of mochileros (backpackers) caught in a tight squeeze or quilombo (chaotic situation), as we find out it is a quite touristic beach and every where cost crazy amounts of money to sleep...Luckily we spot some tents and find out that we can camp for $20 a night on the beach, which is expensive for camping, but beautiful nonetheless as the tent is much preferrable to any bed and the stars are better than any light...The beach itself is beautiful, but the water is cold and filled with jelly fish, literally thousands and half are dead and smell horrible...yet we find a part of the beach that is pretty and has less jelly fish and i take the risk of the cold and sting of the jellyfishes and jump into the beach rapidly and jump out even faster with the fear of tentacles running through my head literally/figuratively...we spend a lot of time relaxing, reading, playing cards, and Matkot!!! (or the israeli name for paddle ball on the beach!)...I am happy, relaxes, but ready for some "harder/rougher" and more rewarding situations.
