stayed in hotel brazil last night in antofagasta. big city. hotel was the noisiest place on earth this morning. i think the guests and staff were trying to demolish the building using herrings (ref: python).
from what we´ve noticed so far there seems to be far less indigeneous or quesuan looking people in chile as apposed to peru. they look more like spaniards/colonials. the cities have less culture aswell. my uneducated guess is that chile was totally dominated when pizarro and the spanish arrived.
getting night bus (12 hours...) today @ 10pm. not looking forward to it, but we´re running out of time, so we have to speed things up. we´re planning the old travel tablets and vodka cocktail trick again for the trip to knock us out. we´re forced to wander around antofagasta all day today as the hostel kick you out @ 12. we left our bags in the hostel and will collect them before we go to the bus station.
