Od danas sam u vezi. Isprintat cu sliku sebe i jednoga decka (da ga ne imenujem javno, nece ga vise nitko htjeti :D) i nosit sa sobom pa kad me netko pita dal imam decka, pokazat cu mu sliku i detaljno objasnit da je u hrvatskoj varanje smrtni grijeh i da sam ja velika vjernica. Jbt. Iako sam uvjerena da ni to nece pomoci jer ovaj lik kod kojeg sam ovdje (a vjerujem mu samo zato sto je estebanov prijatelj, inace bih pobjegla od njega jer mi ide na zivce sa svojim izjavama ...

I do not like Antofagasta. I will say it´s much like Algeciras, Spain, another city that will never make it to my top 10, top 50, or even top 100 fave destinations list. It´s a larger port city that is a coming hub for transportation from San Pedro and north down to the rest of Chile. I thought I´d stay a night and maybe find that it´s a decent little place. Maybe it´s not so bad, but the hostal was.

... and who was teased at school by the more traditional of his brethren, with their spark plugs and connector cables linking disembodied hands and faces chanting 'Live' at morning assembly. Our little paragon, however, lagged behind his brothers, with a well folded photograph of the Miami skyline stowed carefully at the bottom of his backpack, to be taken out and crooned over when he thought that no one was looking. Poor soul, to be sitting forlornly in the ...

Arrived in AF after a good bus ride and was immediately impressed with Antofagasta. It isn't as bad as many guides make out, it isnt a tourist destination but there is still loads to see and do. Spending Christmas and the New Year with Pedro and his family, and it has been great! On the very first day, we visited La Portada (an amazing rock arch just outside of AF and a bit of a national icon), the ...

... was in some kind of old road movie, or a bit like "Duel", the old Spielberg movie where that guy gets chased around these desert roads in his car by a massive truck. In Chile though, people tend to overtake you rather than force you to drive off a cliff. It's all very civilised. It also reminded me of those randy old Russ Meyer films... like Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. Unfortunately, there were no scantily clad big breasted nymphomaniacs ...

... fent cada dia????!!!!! Pel camí, avui serem breus, no estem gaire inspirats, trosos de tot. Algun de molt bonic, sobretot al principi, d'altres de curiosos, com la Pampa del Tamarugal o l'oasi de Quillagua, d'altres d'espectaculars, com les quebradas arribant i sortint d'Arica, amb muntanyes multicolors, un cel blau espectacular i la els fons de les valls verdes. També algun d'avorrit, amb llargues rectes per planures plenes de rocs. Llàstima que no hem ...

... la ciutat pero avorrir-nos com dues ostres a l'aeroport (hem esmorzat, dinat, tret calers al caixer, canviat dolars... i em recorregut l'aeroport unes tres vegades amunt i avall... no es gaire gran). Un cop arribem a Antofagasta, ningu ens esperava a l'oficina de lloguer cotxes, ens hagut d'esperar tres quarts d'hora... pero aixo si, ja el tenim (cap problema)... pero sense el permis per travessar a Argentina (l'haviem llogat per internet per tenir-lo nomes d'arribar ...

... Of course, we found a dodgy hotel, checked into a fly-infested pit of a room and cursed the day we set foot in this city.... Antofagasta.... the pit-stop on the way to the Atacama, where the houses are crumbling, the sea-shores filthy and the stench of rotten fish finds you wherever you walk. After finding a dead cat, mutilated upon the rocks we called it a night and vowed to leave first thing in the morning.

... reputació i costums més que dubtoses que miraven en tot moment cap a totes direccions, controlant-ho tot. Però jo anava posant la cara de mala llet que vaig aprendre a posar quan ja d'adolescent caminava entre camells i clients pel mig del casc antic de Lleida...sempre em va funcionar, encara que, pensat fredament, pot resultar totalment inútil i ridícul...però val a dir que amb la meva onzesetmanesbarba, la verosimilitud de personatge amb males puces podia ...

... but as we got closer we found that there were road works and we could not get close. Eventually we convinced the driver to let us walk to the hand and all enjoyed taking a series of pictures with the huge hand emerging from the desert. Later we arrived in Antafogasta to some excitement as the day before Daniel Craig (the current James Bond) had arrived in Antafogasta for filming of the latest James Bond movie. Unfortunately we didn't manage to spot him.
