View the trip so farWe arrived in Antafogasta in early evening, and found the cheapest hostel mentioned in my guidebook. We got pretty much what we paid for. Saggy beds and worn out vintage furniture that if someone tried selling them in the states as vintage they could probably make a couple of hundred bucks for each piece.
We walked around for a little while, but we were both exhauseted from the night before. We had some really bad pizza and headed to bed early.
The next morning we tried to leave our bags at the hostel, but they wouldn’t watch them. The bus company that we were traveling with later that day wouldn’t watch them either because it was Sunday. We ended up going to their competitor and giving them some money to watch our bags. We then walked around most of the day and found a nice beach where we had empanadas and were accosted by some drunk Chiliean dude.
There was not much else there to write home about, even though it is Chile’s second largest city. I guess just coming from San Pedro de Atacama might have impacted our reaction a little. That evening we took a bus to La Serena.
