Hotel Antofagasta

Visited friends in Antofagasta for weekend.<br>6 hours bus trip from Caldera, and the scenary from the bus is desert, desert, and desert....<br><br>Here, there is a beautiful art of the earth, callde "la portada".<br>well, I don't know how to explain... <br>check the photos! <br><br>

... sam plavusa, ne bih NIKAD, ali bas NIKAD putovala sama po ovom kontinentu. Jbt, nes ti mene, nisam ja neka ljepota, a likovi ko j* lesinari! Cak mi se i dida &#8211; vozac autobusa od jedne stanice do druge u santiagu &#8211; nabacivao. Katastrofa. <br><br>Natalia mi je pricala kako je njena prijateljica Nijemica, plavusa, uvijek imala hrpu likova oko sebe i kako je jednom imala nekih 7 likova oko sebe koji su svi drzali mobitele u rukama i zapisivali njen broj dok ga je ona ...

... level menace, a transylvanian wilderness transplanted to summer time. Over the brow of the mountains to the north east stands Frankensteins summer retreat, his ubiquitous hump-backed servants decked out in hawain shirts and board shorts, sipping battery coctails as they stoke the freezers of their master's eternal pursuits. Here is a ******* son of the unheeded spawn, one who was drawn to geography and architecture as the wellsprings of his misunderstood ...

... driest part of the Atacama Desert. Apparently, there has been no rain recorded there for over 50 years! We stopped first at an old cemetery of Oficina Alamania, an abandoned nitrate mine. It was so creepy.. Loads of graves made from wooden sticks and babies cribs. It was so Isolated, and so sad, that people had to travel a massive distance to visit their dead. And it really gave me the willies.... Driving through the desert made me feel like ...

Avui "pallisot" en cotxe, 12 hores travessant el desert d'Atacama de Sud a Nord. Però hem arribar a per fi hem arribar a Putre, la nostre base d'operacions pels propers dos dies. Estem molt cansats, però que molt cansats... tot i això, avui estem fent la primera cervesa com Déu mana. En un pub a 3500 metres d'alçada, escoltant la típica música amb flauta andina (demà provarem el licor de coca). Hi agafo gustillo això d'escriure el blog... a veure si ho ...

... they had realized we were not going to leave and couldn't understand any of there excuses we finally got our refunds, booked with another company for later in the evening and headed to a cafe for another long day sitting in a bus terminal. We ordered completos (the Chilean national snack....a hot dog with everything) and i destroyed mine whilst trying find an edible part. Sadly, the waitor mistakenly ...

Antofagasta...un destí que per res del món passava pel meu cap en planificar el viatge... Vaig arribar-hi de camí cap a Santiago per a retrobar la meva Sara, a les 21h aproximadament, i només sortir de la terminal d'omnibus ja vaig veure una ciutat fosca, amb caos circulatori, misèria i abundant venda ambulant al voltant de l'estació, o sigui, res de diferent de qualsevol ciutat mig gran de Chilito. Però a diferència dels altres llocs, només en arribar ja ésser ...

We spent the day driving through the driest part of the Atacama desert towards Antafogasta. In this area of the desert rain has not been detected for over 50 years! We stopped at a small dusty diner in the middle of no where for a lunch of chicken and rice then headed to the cemetery of Oficina Alemania. This is the cemetery of the people who mined at the abandoned nitrates mines in the area. As the cemetery is in the middle of the desert and now there ...
