nothing major to report over the last few days. in iquique now - more importantly, in chile!
now that i´ve been in chile a couple of days i can really see the difference between it and peru. it is a much more developed country, and as a result things cost on average about 30% more than peru here. it does mean that the cities are bigger, cars newer, and there is more homeless people. there are far less people living off tourism by selling you postcards/chewing gum/garments by bothering tourists on the street. they are far stricter about travelling and borders, etc aswell. not sure i like it as much, but i´m looking forward to getting to santiago as i hear it´s cool.
staying in hostel li-ming in the centre of iquique. it´s ok. kind of expensive, but i guess i gotta get used to chile´s prices. the last 3 hostels we have stayed in have cable TV, so i´m kind of getting used to having it - i´m like a backpacker toff!
heading to antofagasta tomorrow morning, i heard it aint great, so we are only staying one night, then heading on towards la serena - should be nice beaches there.
