This morning we had another sleep in and then went on a bike ride out to the surrounding areas and then through the outer lying areas of the town. It was a really pleasant way to spend a few hours.
Around 4pm we joined another short trip out to Laguna Cejar which is a salt lake not far from town. Laguna Cejar has a high concentration of salt which is similar to The Dead Sea in that one cannot sink. So, even though the temperature of the water was, for us, sub arctic, we braved it and went for a brief swim or float as the case may be. It was absolutely freezing and we had very numb body parts in a short space of time but worth it for the experience :-).
We visited a few other lagoons and then finished at Laguna Auguali for sunset. In true Chilean fashion we enjoyed sunset with a Pisco Sour or two. The Lagoon and surrounding landscape was spectacular especially in the changing colours of the setting sun.
