Voilà, Antofagasta, in the middle of the Atacama desert. It's an important hub for Chile's lucrative mining industry. Florian often needs to go here for work at the moment. He told me over and over what a dreadful place Antofagasta was. In my (visitor's) perspective, it's not sooo bad... Yes, there is little green, and even less stuff to do. But they do have a cute miniature of Big Ben on their main square. Then, there is a standard shopping mall. And in the sea, just outside the city, is "La Portada", a natural stone arch. Hmm, that's it. I guess, we wouldn't want to move here.
