Atacama desert

On my way up to Iquique, which has taken me through the Atacama to calma, the town which does schopp con piernes this takes me through the town of Calma, a mining town, which does schopp con piernes. How well it does it I will investigate later.

Going through the Atacama is to the least strange, initially there is a desert spilling onto the sea, with a  backdrop of quite high mountains. At this point there is some flora and fauna especially on the coast. Strangely enough its totally overcast, despite the fact it hasn´t rained in years. When the road starts to climb the signs of life decrease until you are through the cloud cover and there is no signs of life at all other than the tarmacadam and the power cables that fringe it. As the road gets higher the desert changes form in that hundreds of little volcanoe like mounds appears appear, shaped like upturned scallop shells. It instead of the earth being a mucky brown the power of the sun makes the surface appear almost white. This goes on for hours until I arrive at Calma. Without a doubt this is the harshest landscape I´ve ever seen.

Next stop naked women and beer.
