Stuck in Iquique

For the second time now we're stuck in Iquique, a city in the North of Chile. The first time was because we were waiting for our car to be fixed (which it was...well...sort of but not really?!) and for the past few days unfortunately Mai has been sick (don't worry, she's on the mend now).

Iquique is certainly not the Galapagos Islands, but we could be stuck in a worse place that's for sure. We're by the beach, the surf's not bad and we found a pretty nice Argentinian grill house to treat ourselves at (thanks for the photo catching me out drooling over the parilla Yen!).

It's always nice to relax by the beach, but we're looking forward to heading South now towards the colder waters of Chile's central coast, the towering spires of Torres del Paine and the rugged landscapes of Patagonia.
