Translation of contingency in German

Sammy our cab driver brought us to the hotel, he promised to pick us up a few hours later. We took a shower and rested a little. I could not sleep because I was too excited of being in a new country.
My wife and I left the hotel to walk around this tiny village. We just fell for this place. In the afternoon we made a hike to a nearby hill. From the view point one could see the entire Atacama desert.
