hye everyone, sorry for the short post with no pics (revision...pics added), but internet is not really great here in San Pedro de Atacama,Chile and probably wont be for the next little while in Bolivia.
We are off on our 3 day 4wd drive journey to the Salt Flats of Uyuni,Bolvia tomorrow...should be interesting...6 people crammed into an old landcruiser with a grumpy driver and some freezing nights...well worth our money i am sure. Hope it goes better than our bus trip from Salta, Argentina to San Pedro...bus broke a piston near the andean mountain pass between the countries and we waited for 7 hours before a replacement bus came. We arrived very tire and hungry in San Pedro at 1AM and the town was sleeping. A bus load of backpackers woke up every hostel owner in town...it was a very surreal!
We hope things go better on the jeep tour (yeah right...even the tour operators tell us that all the companies are crap and you need to expect very little of the tour...but the scenery is worth it).
chao,

Best of luck with the tour. We had good time even though we had to push our 4x4 to start it more than few times. It seemed like our driver was under the hood fixing something everytime we stopped. We made it though. Take a few bottles of wine with you because there are zero stores along the way. Saying you will be in the middle of nowhere for a few days is an understatement.
